Hello I would like to give my deepest condolences and sorrow and I would like to also mention a text on Revelation 21:4 that mentions there will be no more mourning and no more death and not one single tear drop. 4 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.”
