I’m truly sorry for your loss. Death brings great sadness, hurt, and pain. The Bible promises that God will resurrect countless millions in a paradise right here on earth. Imagine loved ones restored with healthy bodies-reunited with their family. (John 5:28, 29) We can have full confidence in this promise because God’s Word is a source of comfort to those who mourn. The Bible assures us: “God is near to those that are broken at heart and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalms 34:18)
I had no idea Sonny had passed. I knew him years ago when he was friends with my family. Ricky, I am sorry for your loss… He was a nice person…..
