I would like to give my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mary Johnson. I did not know her personally, but I am sure that she will be most dearly missed. Losing a loved one in death is understandably a very difficult experience to go through. However, please know that you are not alone in this sad time. God takes notice of the sadness and grief you feel, and has also promised us that soon, he will completely do away with all death forever (Isaiah 25:8). We also have the wonderful hope of being able to enjoy life with our dead loved ones again (Acts 24:15). I hope that these thoughts will provide a measure of comfort in this difficult time.
