I just want to express my sympathy on the loss of Annie. She was a sweet person. The Bible tells us a John 5:28: “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” God promises at Revelation 21:4 that he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. I hope these scriptures bring your family some comfort in your time of sorrow.
