Dear family, I hope to find you at a peaceful moment in your mourning. In these times, hope and comfort are necessary. The Bible tells us, "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4). It is important and helpful to remember that simple prayer to God through Jesus will powerfully soothe you. "And the prayer of faith will make the sick one well, and Jehovah will raise him up" (James 5:15). Your loved one is at peace, and will soon be reunited with you (John 5:28,29).
