To family and friends please accept our sincere condolences. God's promise to Abraham was that through his seed people of all nations will be blessed. (Gen. 22:18). One of these blessings is the hope of a resurrection as demonstrated by Abraham and Isaac. I am very sorry for your loss but at the same time, I know that one day your loved one will be among the happy throngs who benefit from this promised blessing. Again, please accept our sincere condolences.
