Deepest sympathy for family. Death was not part of Gods original purpose for us. We all look forward to the promise at 1 Corinthians 15:26 "the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing." Death is an enemy that separates us from our loved ones. When this promise is fulfilled, we will have the joy of our loved ones being resurrected to enjoy life the way our Grand Creator purposed for us, forever on earth. (Acts 24:15; Psalms 37:9, 11)
