I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. It may be comforting to know that God cares for each and every one of us. The Bible gives us hope that one day we can see our loved ones again. On behalf of all mankind Jesus surrendered his soul. John 15:13 says"No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul on behalf of his friends."I hope these few words will bring you comfort and hope.
