I am so very sorry that you have suffered this loss. It is hard to know just what to say when a loved one dies. Be assured that our Loving Creator is aware of your loss and pain. Through His Son, Christ Jesus, he has arranged to bring back to life, "all those in the Memorial tombs." (John 5:28,29) At that time, Rev. 21:3-5 says: "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say:
