The loss of a loved one can be so hard but our special memories help us to cope. I have found great encouragement when reading the beautiful words penned at Revelation 21:4,5. This scripture shows that there will be a time in the future, right here on earth, when tears of mourning and pain will be things of the past because, at that time death will be no more. Is that not wonderful! I hope this will comfort your family in this difficult time. My deepest sympathy for your loss.
