My condolences to the family and friends, Although it is saddening to a lose a dear loved one, we mustn't only rejoice in the long life he or she lived such as Mr. Venturi, but also in the hope we have to see them again. God promises us through His Word that "there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous" (Acts 24:15). He also states in John 5:28 and 29, "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, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment." Therefore, God doesn't desire for us to live mournfully, but happily knowing he has a future saved for us to be reunited with our loved ones.
