Emma Jean & Brenda, we are sorry to hear about the death of your Aunt. The Bible teaches: "And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing." (1 Corinthians 15:26) That will be a wonderful time when that happens, so until then may you find comfort in the one who comforts us all during our difficult times.
