    May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Death to many seems to be a part of life. Our Heavenly Father want his children to enjoy life and live, So He made a promise to do away with death at Revelation 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” At these times, may you turn to God’s Word for comfort.
