Condolence: I wanted to send my love and sympathies to the Smith family. I know the Anniversary of your dear loved one, Jeffrey, is approaching. No doubt this has brought back to mind some painful feelings and sadness, but hopefully you're able to reflect on the good memories as well. Keep in mind that beautiful promise found in God's Word, at John 5:28,29. It says, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." What this can mean for you is a real hope of being reunited with your loved ones who have fallen asleep in death. So as you reflect on the times spent with your dear loved one, keep this comforting thought in mind for the days ahead. There will soon be a time when we'll not only be able to welcome our loved ones back to life, but we can truly experience the words "death will be no more." (Revelation 21:4) My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Condolence: My sympathies to the Smith family. I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that one day soon "death will be no more." (Revelation 21:4) Not only will we not experience death, but we have the hope of being reunited with our loved ones we have lost to death. This will take place by means of the resurrection hope, mentioned in the Bible at John 5:28,29. Imagine how you'll feel when your dear loved one, Jeffrey, is brought back to life, in a beautiful new paradise on earth! It's not a mere dream, but a future that will soon be realized. (Revelation 21:5)
