" Please accept my sympathies for your loss of Bryan. Death is truly our enemy, no matter how long we live death always comes too soon. Our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah knows the pain that we are in and Promises a beautiful Resurrection seem to come. That promise can be found in the Bible Book of Revelation chapter 21 verses 3 and 4."
