To the bereaved family: I'm sorry for your loss. Death is unnatural and not what our Heavenly Father intended for mankind. God promises that the dead can live again. The Bible says “Many of those asleep in the dust of the earth will wake up.”—Daniel 12:2. Please draw close to God and his word the Bible and draw comfort from his promises.
