Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I look forward to the fulfillment of all of God’s promises. He will “swallow up death forever.” (Isaiah 25:8) “No resident will say: I am sick.” (Isaiah 33;24) “The righteous will possess the earth and live forever upon it in an abundance of peace.” (Psalms 37:11,29) And at His command, “the earth will let those powerless in death come to life.” (Isaiah 26:19) You will be able to embrace Ms. Charlotte again. The Bible gives us hope.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
