My sincere condolences to the family of Leslie Carey. Death is something we will never get use to, in fact, the Bible refers to death as an enemy because it hurts all of us deeply. (1 Corinthians 15:26) God wants us to be able to see and enjoy the company of our loved ones again in a healthy condition (Isaiah 33:28) and for countless generations of time. He promises a time where no family will ever have to mourn the death of a loved ever again at Revelation 21:3,4. This is why we are promised a similar resurrection like Lazarus at John 11:14, 38-39, 43-44. May the memories of Leslie bring you a sense of peace and joy as you begin to heal; and, may God’s promises bring you hope that things will be better in the near future.
