Lo siento mucho por su perdida. Que bueno es que la Biblia nos da una esperanza tan maravillosa en que nuestros seres queridos puedan volver a vivir otra vez. Esta esperanza Biblica puede ayudarnos aguantar la pena que causa la muerte (Job 14:13-15; Juan 5:28,29). Que Jehová, el Dios que nos da este esperanza, bendice a su familia (2 Corintios 1:3,4).
