"To the Kearney family: It's hurts to lose someone in death. What helped me the most was prayers and faith in God's promise at Acts 24:15 where it states that "there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous."

God's Kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for will bring about these wonderful promises. There is nothing I can say to take the pain away, but I hope the thought of seeing and hugging Brendan again eases your pain and brings you comfort in the days ahead. "
