My thoughts and prayers are with you. One day soon you will see your love one again and death will be no more. Revelation 21:4 "And he (God) will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry or pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

Life is such a precious gift from our God Jehovah (Psalms 83:18) and when that life is lost it brings such great sorrow. The Bible promises at Acts 24:14 "...there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteousness ." The Bible assures use that our love ones will live again when God allows Jesus to call them back to life to live on a paradise earth. Psalms 37:11 says "the meek will possess the earth and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." The Bible guarantees a bright future for obedient mankind. Please put your hope in Gods promises.
