My heartfelt sympathies go out to your family during this difficult time. I hope the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring much comfort. Just knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

My sincere condolences to the family. Losing a loved one is very devastating. I found this Bible passage that gave me great comfort. It is found at Ps 94:19 which says "when anxieties overwhelmed me You comforted and soothed me". I hope you find it comforting as well.

My sincere sympathy to the Jones family,
Losing a loved one in death is such a sad and painful thing to experience. I hope all of you can find comfort in God's promise at John 6:40.
