To The Furlow Family, Life is so brief and that what makes it so difficult to accept the death of a loved one. The Bible promises we are going to be able to live in a world free of death. Revelation 21:4 speaks of a resurrection of our love ones and Isaiah 28:8 says he(Jehovah God) is going to swallow up death forever. We have a bright future ahead of us. Please allow the scriptures to bring you a measure of peace and comfort.
