Hola, mis condolencias por su perdida. Se que todos los años compartidos con su querida Sra. Arufe son inolvidables, y deben estar llenos de alegrias y recuerdos muy especiales. Entiendo el dolor de perder a alguien muy querido, pues yo tambien perdi a una amiga a muy temprana edad, y a pesar del tiempo siempre es fuerte aceptar esa realidad. Pero lo que me a ayudado es proyectarme hacia el futuro, en un mundo mejor donde Dios nos promete lo siguiente en Juan 5:28, 29 "No se maravillen de esto, porque viene la hora en que todos los que están en las tumbas conmemorativas oirán su voz y saldrán [...]". Aqui Dios nos da la esperanza de que volveremos a ver a todas las personas que hemos amado y hemos perdido en la muerte, habra una resurreccion en la cual volveran a la vida. Este texto me da esperanza ya que yo espero con muchas ansias volver a ver a mi amiga, y se que ustedes deberan sentir lo mismo.
Espero que este texto les pueda dar un poco de esperanza y tranquilidad.
Respetuosamente,
Ana G.
