Chery October 11, 2010, 2:06 PM | May each special memory comfort the family. The Bible brings comfort because it explains, not only the origin of life, but also the meaning of life, the condition of those who have fallen asleep in death and the resurrection hope. John 5:28,29 says: The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out. May Jehovah, the God of all comfort be with all of the family. (2Corinthians 1:3,4) |
