Dear Bledsoe family, I send you my sincere sympathies for the loss of your dear loved one Jeffery Losing someone we love in death is a difficult event to endure. God’s Word has provided a comforting hope for the future, for our loved ones whom we have loss in death. John 5:28,29 says, “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” What this can mean for you is a real hope of being reunited with your dear loved ones. This reunion will take place in a beautiful Paradise on earth, where we’ll be able to fully experience the words “death will be no more.” (Revelation 21:4;Psalm 37:11,29)
