Dear Donald,
I am so sorry for the loss of your wife, Patricia.
I know this must be a difficult time for you. And itis during difficult times like this, where I have found comfort and hope in the promise found at John 5:28, 29 where it tells us that "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice (meaning God's) and come out." How encouraging it is to know that we have the chance to see our dead loved ones again, right here on earth! What a wonderful promise the bible fortells!
Donald, I encourage you, during this difficult time, to draw close to God in prayer and as brought out in Psalm 55:22 "and he himself (meaning God) will sustain you."
