I am truly sorry for your loss. I know you have many wonderful memories of time with your loved one . When you reflect on the memories you shared, they will bring a smile to your heart. I know this is a difficult time, but faith in Almighty God will get you thru each day. The Bible gives us a wonderful future hope , Revelation 21:4 says death will be no more. The Bible promises we will live in a world free of sickness & death. This is an awesome promise made by Almighty God, the One who cannot lie. (Titus 1:2) Again, my deepest sympathies.

To the Simmons family, our sincere condolences during this heart wrenching times. Almighty God created us to live, not to die. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says "He has put eternity in(our) hearts". We die because we're imperfect but God personal promise at to put an end to our last enemy , death. 1Corninthians 15:26;John 6:40.

I am sorry you have suffered the loss of someone dear to you, 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
