    I wanted to take this time to express my deepest condolence to you for the loss of Mary. She was a wonderful woman and she will be greatly missed by all those who were privileged to know her. Although her physical presence is no longer with us, her loving memories will live on in our hearts. During your time of grief, you may find comfort in the holy writings found in God’s Word. The man Job in (Job 14:14) asked “If an able-bodied man dies can he live again?”. With heartfelt compassion, Jesus answered in (John 5:28,29)-” Do not marvel at this, because 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”. Imagine a resurrection or a bringing back to life. And right here on earth.–(Ps.37:29)-“The righteous themselves will posses the earth. And they will reside forever upon it”. Jesus (John 5:28) was relaying a promise from his heavenly Father-Jehovah-(Ps.83:18) who at (Titus 1:2) says is a “God who can not lie”. I pray that you will be able to draw comfort from these scriptural thoughts as I did. May our Heavenly Father grant you peace.
