My deepest sympathies to the Johnston family. I’m so sorry for your loss. Not just any words will help ease your pain during this trying time of loss. My heart truly goes out to you. God’s promises provide us comfort and a beautiful hope for the future. Isaiah 25:8 says, “He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces…For Jehovah himself has spoken it.” Knowing too that God has locked your dear loved one in his loving memory, and yearns to resurrect them is a comforting thought. (John 5:28,29; Job 14:14,15) My prayers are with you at this time.
