I am so sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort described in 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4 provide comfort for your family. Losing a loved one in death is never easy, but the Bible reassures us in Isaiah 25:8 that soon death will be no more. What a wonderful time that will be for all of us.

I offer my sincere condolences to the family. I know all too well the pain associated with losing a loved in death. I know that Mr. Jack will be missed by many. May the family find comfort in Gods promise to reunite us with our family and friends by means of an earthly resurrection, as well as his promise to remove death forever. (Acts 24:15, Isaiah 25:8, Rev. 21:3,4). I hold these promises dear to my heart and they have brought me so much comfort and I sincerely hope they do the same for your family.
