My prayers go out for your family. For I hope your memories will keep you going. The promise God gave if we believe and exercise that faith in Jesus is a hope of everlasting life. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 Many of us will see our love ones again and never cry again of losing them in death. We have many promises of the resurrection written in Gods word.
