    We’re sorry to read of your love’s passing. Death is the most trying of all things that can happen to us. The Bible calls death and enemy and it turly is. Almighty God offers hope by means of the resurrection through his Son Jesus Christ. Jesus saidat john 11:25,26 “ I am the resurrection and the life” Almighty God has promised that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. This is a sure promise from Almighty God who can not lie. Again our condolences to your family and friends.

    Our hearts aches in knowing you are mourning the recent loss of your dear loved one. We hope you can find comfort in the words found in Holy writing, in Psalms 9:9 which reads: “ 9 Jehovah will become a secure refuge for the oppressed, A secure refuge in times of distress.” Our loving God cares about us and is ready to bring us comfort if we allow him (1John 5:14). He also has made the SURE promise of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored into a beautiful paradise. See and imagine yourself welcoming back to life your dear loved one?
