My condolences, as feelings of pain and bitterness become unbearable. It is my desire to convey a comforting thought based on the Holy Scriptures
John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."
This passage speaks of the resurrection of our loved ones. It is not God's plan to see us suffer and die, so He extends the following invitation to us: "Come near to God and He will draw near to you" (James 4:8)

I'm sorry for your loss. I will miss Mary. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
My deepest condolences. May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...
John 11:32-45
32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”
38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb.

Es muy doloroso la muerte de un ser tan querido,siento mucho su perdida,con todo respeto, escribo estas lineas porque es muy dificil sobrellevar un dolor asi.
Me ayudo mucho la esperanza que da la Santa Escritura,en sus paginas usted encontrara alivio y paz,porque esa esperanza la da Dios,y El no miente en el libro de Tito capitulo 1 versiculo 2 escribe:Sobre la base de una esperanza de la vida eterna aca en la tierra,que Dios no puede mentir.
Jesucristo ejecuto muchas resurrecciones cuando estubo en la tierra demostrando de esa manera que todas las personas que se han dormido en la muerte voveran a vivir.
No es el plan de Dios que uno sufra y muera,El nos creo para vivir eternamente,porque morimos entonces?,la respuesta sale en su propio ejemplar biblico Romanos capitulo 5 versiculo 12 escribe :Por eso,asi como por medio de un solo hombre el pecado entro en el mundo,y la muerte mediante el pecado, y asi la muerte se extendio a todos los hombres porque todos habian pecado.
Esta invitada a que adquiera mas informacion acerca de esta esperanza a:
