J. Flowers says
Dear family and friends, I’m very sorry for your loss. Many of us have experienced the death of a loved one. But in the near future this too will have passed away. At 1 Corinthians 15:26 it says “And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing. ” Yes, God will completely remove our number enemy death, forever. I hope this scripture brings you comfort.
