Today I read of your family's loss. Please accept my condolences and know that God is aware of your sorrow. (1 Peter 5:7) The Bible promise of a ressurection and an end to death and sorrow has brought great comfort to me during similar times of grief (Acts 24:15 ; Revelation 21:3,4) I hope that these thoughts help sustain your family during your time of distress.(Psalm 55:22)
