So sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort strengthen the family. Throw all your anxiety on God, because he cares. 1 Peter 5:6,7
With warm condolences, I'am sorry to learn of your loss. The Bible give us hope for a better future of living forever in a beautiful paradise, where there will be no suffering, no pain, no death the former things has passed away. (Revelation 21:3&4)
My condolences to the Avery family and friends. It is a painful thing to lose a precious love one in death, regardless of how long they have lived. Even Jesus wept when Lazarus died (John 11:35) and it pains our loving Heavenly Father, too. He did not purpose his human family to grow old and die but purpose us to live and enjoy life. It is still his purpose (Psalms 37:11, 29). He calls death an enemy that will be removed forever (1 Corinthians 15:26; Isaiah 25:8). He promised to awaken our love ones in the memorial tombs from asleep in death__ Hosea 13:14 “From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; from death I will recover them.” He promised to reverse the aging process__ Job 33:24,25 “Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.” What a delight it will be to see them again to enjoy life as our Creator purposed (Psalms 145:16)! Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, 17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word. the McCaden/Combs/Denson Families will keep you all in our prayers as you weep for your loved one.
