El dolor que sentimos cuando un ser querido se duerme en la muerte, es inmenso. Pero gracias a la maravillosa esperanza que Jehova Dios nos da, de volverlos a ver en un futuro cercano, nos llena de alegria. Jesucristo lo dijo en Juan 5: 28 y 29. Familia Renteria. Sentimos mucho su perdida y esperamos que estas palabras de Jesus les fortalezcan.
