    To the family, I am sorry for the grief that you are feeling. Knowing of God's enduring love for you, continue to look to him when he "will wipe out all tears from our eyes, death, suffering, and pain will be no more " Revelation 21:3,4 He says death is an " enemy that will be brought to nothing ". 1 Corinthians 15:26 How comforting to know that this will be a thing of the past and through Christ Jesus a resurrection for our loved ones. love jrfdog@gmail.com
