Mi mas sinceras condolencias a la familia. En momentos como estos necesitamos el apoyo de familiares y amigos, pero mas allá de esto necesitamos el consuelo y la esperanza que Dios nos da en su palabra la Biblia. En Juan 5:28,29 habla de una resurrección, lo cual nos da la esperanza de volver a ver a nuestros seres queridos que han muerto. Dios lo ha prometido y lo cumplirá
