To The Family, God never intended for man to suffer the pain of death. 1 Corinthians 15:26 says, "And the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing." Almighty God is going to remove death forever. What a wonderful future hope. Take comfort in knowing this. Please look forward to the fulfillment of Revelation 21:3,4. Please be assured Jehovah (Psalms 83:18) will comfort you during this most difficult time.

To the Dupree Family, my sincere condolences in the loss of your Father. May your hearts slowly ease as you reflect on memories of all the wonderful things he did and accomplished. And may God comfort you with his inspired and faithful promise at Acts 24:15, of the resurrection back to life for all those in his memory. Our prayers are that his promise give you hope, peace and comfort. Again, deepest condolences, he will be missed by many.

Sorry for your loss may God comfort you during your bereavement. Jesus's gave this comforting assurance at John 5:25-29 that the hour is coming when the dead will hear Jesus's voice and come out what a happy prospect that your loved ones who have died will be able to enjoy the blessings!

I am truly sorry for your loss. However, John 5:25 says “the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who have paid attention will live”. Those who have died and are in God’s memory will be resurrected to a restored earth and have a hope of everlasting life. (Psalm 37:11, 29) I hope this brings you peace.
