I’m sorry to read of the loss of your loved one. The Bible promises that very soon death will be done away with at Revelation 21:3,4. There it says: “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. ” To learn more, type the following links into your browser: tinyurl.com/mezwv23 and tinyurl.com/jyp4yl4.

My sincere condolences to the Shia family. Denny Albaugh
