    I am so very sorry to learn of the loss of your loved one. There are so many awful diseases that take our dear ones from us when they fall asleep in death. May it bring you comfort to read the words of our Lord at John 5:28&29 of the promise that we will see these loved ones again in the coming resurrection. May the God of all comfort be with the family and friends as you go through this difficult time. My sincere condolences.

    May this verse at, Revelation 21:3, 4 bring consolation to your family: “I heard a loud voice from the throne say: ‘Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.’” Please take comfort in this God given promise.
