My condolence to the Blair family: Our Heavenly Father has heard your outcries of pain and sorrow over the death of your dear loved one. He too has suffered the loss of his dear loved one. Therefore, He has promised to end death and all things that cause pain, suffering and mourning. He has furnished us a garantee through his son, Christ Jesus, that our dear departed ones will hear his voice and arise to a life of joy, peace and happiness. Now though, with opened arms, He invites you to throw your burden, your pain upon him and allow him to sustain you. What wonderful blessings our Heavenly Father has in store for us and our dear departed ones.
