My deepest condolences to all who knew Ms. Maria Leong, I truly hope the pain you feel is a short one in duration. Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things a human being can go through; but that is exactly why we are given hope. This hope originates from God, and it is communicated to us through His Word. John 5:28 and 29 state, "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 [...]." And in another book of the Bible, it states, "And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous" (Acts 24:15). Therefore, just as Ms. Leong continually prayed for her family, her family should now have faith in this promise made by Jehovah God to be once again reunited with her loved ones.
