Domonique Williams says
I’m very sorry for your loss. Our loving creator knows the pain of your heart and promises that he will be there to comfort you.” Jehovah is close to the broken hearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit.”(Psalm 34:18).The Bible also promises to bring back to life those who have fallen asleep in death and to return them to their “youthful vigor” (Job 33.25) (Acts 24:15). How we all yearn for that time! Until those promises are fulfilled, it is my hope that this passage brings comfort to your hearts and give you a measure of peace during this most difficult time.

Please accept my deepest condolence. God understand your grief, and he is, able to give you comfort and strength “at the right time” (Hebrews 4:15, 16). May your special memories help you to cope with the loss of your love one and “the God of all comfort” (2 Cor. 1:3, 4) give the family the strength and comfort in this time of need.
