"Dear family and friends of Joachim,I am sorry for your loss. The passing of someone you love can be a very difficult thing to cope with. Perhaps you can find some solace in the words Jesus spoke to the sister of Lazarus when he died. John 11:25 reads, "Jesus said to her: 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.'" I hope this message brings you some comfort."
