I would like to give my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Lucille Gillham. I did not know her personally, but I am sure that she was loved dearly and will be missed very much. Losing a loved one in death is often quite a sad event to go through. However, please do not despair. You can be sure that God takes notice of your sorrow and cares deeply. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4) Also, God has not left us without hope. He has given us His word that soon, no one will lose someone they love in death again. (Isaiah 25:8) We can also look forward to enjoying life with our dear dead loved ones again. (John 5:28, 29) We can be confident in these promises from God, as it is impossible of Him to lie. (Titus 1:2) I hope that these few thoughts will be able to provide a measure of comfort in your time of sorrow.
