Please accept my condolences. God promises that one day death will be no more. (Isaiah 25:8 and 1 Corinthians 15:26) He also promises that there will be a resurrection (Job 14:14,15 and John 5:28,29) which will afford us the opportunity to see our loved ones again. May these promises bring you comfort and hope because God can not lie. (Titus 1:2)
