, TX Wednesday, March 6, 2013 My deepest condolences over your loss. This is a very sad time for those who knew and loved Jack. When we lose a loved one to death, it leaves a void in our lives. We mourn the loss of our loved one because our hearts and minds tell us death is not right. Death is of course God’s enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) Therefore, God in his infinite wisdom has made arrangements through his Son Christ Jesus to restore paradise and resurrect our loved ones. May this Bible knowledge comfort you as it gives hope for a future when death will be no more. (John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:3, 4; Matthew 5:5) Heartfelt prayers are with you. May God grant you peace.Michael J Case
