I wanted to make a special effort to contact the family of Theresa to send you my condolences and to bring you comfort from the scriptures. Notice the condition of the dead in Eccle. 9:5. "For the living are conscious that they will die, but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." So they are 'sleeping', no suffering, no pain, awaiting a resurrection. Revelation 21:4 says, "God will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." So this is encouraging what God promises for the future, and in God's appointed time, we will see the reality.8
