We wanted to express our sympathy to you and your family this verse was encouraging during our time of loss. "Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God." (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) Jesus referred to himself to as "the resurrection and the life" at John 11:25. We pray that in the days to come you will be strengthened. JR
