I am so sorry for your loss, she will surely be missed. When I lost my mother, I found comfort in the Bible. At 2 Corinthians 1:7 there Jehovah tells us “and so our hope for YOU is unwavering, knowing as we do that, just as YOU are sharers of the sufferings, in the same way YOU will also share the comfort.”
May the coming days bring you peace and comfort.
Revelation 21:4&5 is very comforting for our future! " And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more; Neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be any more! ...And God said Look! I am making all things new... these words are faithful and true!"
Sincerely, S Willis

Please accept my deepest condolences for your family's loss. The Bible promises that very soon death will be a thing of the past. May you find comfort in the promise found in John 5:28, 29. My prayers go out to you and your family during your time of bereavement.
