I extend my sincere sympathy for your loss. At times like this comfort can be found in the hope that the Bible offers. I found comfort in the scriptures found at John 5:28,29 which says: Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. Further proof that this can happen is found at John 11:43,44:And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz′a·rus, come on out!” The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.” Sincerely, Sandra
