To the family, friends, and loved ones,
I am deeply sorry to learn of the loss of your dear loved one, Darrick. As you continue throughout your days remeber the words of Jesus found at Matthew 9:24 “…for the little girl did not die but is sleeping”
Here, jesus made the comparison of death to that of a person sleeping. Why? Because when one sleeps it is expected of them to awaken which is what is promised at Job 14:13-15. I hope these scriptures will bring you words of encouragement and comfort.
My condolences.
