To The Foster Family, It is sad to lose a loved one to death. There is no comfort in death ,only grief. Almighty God understands that and he is going to eliminate it forever( Revelations 21:4). What a wonderful future blessing for obedient mankind. Please take comfort in knowing this scripture will be fulfilled

Dear Family and friends, I am so sorry for your loss; along with the pain come many questions; Job in the Bible asked, "If a man dies, can he live again"? (Job 14:14,15)The answer is yes!. We can have the hope of seeing our loved ones again, right here on earth. (Psalms 37:29)Please accept my deepest sympathies
