To the Robertson family,
My sympathy to you on the loss of a loved one. We can find comfort in God's Word that states, "death will be no more". His Word also tells us that "God will swallow up death forever, and he will wipe away the tears forever". This is very comforting to know which can help sustain in times like this.
