My deepest sympathies for the family of Jim. There is much pain that comes with the loss of a loved one. I often find comfort in the Holy Scriptures as probably you do also. The account about our Lord Jesus' closest friend Lazarus comes to mind it is in John chapter 11. There Jesus himself sheds tears at his loss even though he had been given the power from his father to resurrect Lazarus. How powerful this account is because it also reveals the condition of our loved ones who have passed as a deep sleep waiting for the resurrection. Once again my thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.

I wish to express my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one, Mr. James Johnson Jr. Please know that Almighty God "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalm 34:18) Soon by means of His son Jesus Christ, Jehovah will remove all suffering - including death - and resurrect those in his memory. (Revelation 21:4; John 5:28)
