"Dear children and family of Christopher, I am so sorry for the loss of your father, so young, with so much life yet ahead to live and share with his family. We may wonder why? Or if there is anything to look forward to? Jesus well knew the Bible statement:" Time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all"[Ecclesiastes 9:11]. He knew that sometimes bad things just happen. The wonderful future resurrectionhope is the promise found at John 5:28,29. Revelation 21:3,4states that in the future ' death will be no more. and pain will be no more, the former things will have passed away.' Our Creator, Jehovah God, by means of his son Jesus, is going to undo the tragedies that touch our lives today and we will be able to welcome back onto the paradise earth,our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death. sincerely dianne mullins rn"
