Please find comfort in Jesus promise at John 5:28,29 вЂњDo not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

Praying for strength and calm for your family.

To family and friends my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved ones. May the God of comfort and tender mercies sustain you during this most difficult time.В
(2 Corinthians 1:3,4) May you find comfort in the hope of the resurrection found in the Scriptures at John 5:28,29 where Jesus promised that there's going to be a resurrection of all those in the grave and they will hear his voice and come out.В
