My heartfelt condolences to the Smith family. The loss of a loved one is so hard to bear. During times of distress our heavenly Father lovingly tells us that he “is close to the brokenhearted” (Ps. 34:18) He also gives the assurance that he will resurrect our dear loved ones back to life just as Jesus did his friend Lazuras. (Acts 24:15, John 11:38-44) May these promises bring you comfort and give you hope for the future. (Rom. 15:4)
