Dear Family: I was very distressed to hear of Mary's death. No doubt this is a great loss to your family. YOu have my deepest sympathy. I also wanted to take this opportunity to give you a hope for Mary's future and providing this comfort from the scriptures. Jesus said in John 11:25, "I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me even though he dies will be brought to life." A resurrection to what and where you may ask? Psalms 37:11 states "that the meek shall possess the earth and they will indeed find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." So the resurrection will be an earthly one but with conditions that are perfect like in the Garden of Eden--God's original purpose for the earth. Until this time, may these words comfort you and may the love of your family and friends be with you in this time of need. May God continue to watch over your family during this difficult time. You are in our prayers.
