" mere words don't sometimes seem to be enough to cope with the loss of your love one...I do often find these words to be of comfort because the come from the Bible.. Isaiah 26:19" your dead will live, my corpse will rise up awake and shout joyfully, you residents in the dust! for your dew is as the dew of the morning " and earth will let those powerless in death come to life.....this is the resurrection"
In loving memory of
