To Jeremy & family, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. A mothers love will always be with you. May you cherish all the good things she did. And, may you reflect in Gods Word, He loves mankind, and will soon take death away forever, (Isaiah 25:8) and restore the lives of our loved ones by means of the resurrection (John 5:28,29). May the love and support of family and friends be with you in the weeks ahead. Deepest condolences.

I am sorry you all have suffered the loss of your loved one, please have faith in God. By meditating on God’s promises found in the Bible, you can find real hope and the strength to keep going throughout your grief. "For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus."—1 Thessalonians 4:14

I am very sorry for your loss. However, Almighty God has provided a guarantee of a resurrection to all people in His memory by resurrecting Jesus from the dead. (Psalm 83:18; Acts 17:31) We will be able to see our loved ones again on a restored earth. (Psalm 37:11, 29) May you trust in God to comfort you until that time. (Prov. 3:5, 6) He is the Source of our help. (Ps. 121:1, 2)
