With heartfelt sympathy, may you find comfort in the Bible's promise "there's going to be a resurrection ". Acts24:15. We're you aware the recorded Bible resurrections occurred on the Earth. This included the son of God, Jesus. An example of what mankind can expect for future resurrections. Just imagine seeing, touching,hearing our reunited loved ones again! I too am awaiting the fulfillment of that promise. The Bible teaches us a real hope of being reunited. John 5:28,29.
