Please accept my sincere condolences during this time of grief. My hope is that the words of Christ Jesus be of comfort, where he stated that "the hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" (John 5: 28, 29). We can also take comfort in God's personal promise to "wipe out every tear" and that soon, even "death will be no more" (Revelation 21:4).
