Condolence: One of the most difficult times for a family after a death is the first anniversary of the loss of their loved one. I found this to be true after the loss of my daughter. May your memories continue to give you and your family comfort, along with the hope that God gives. “I have hope toward God that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—ACTS 24:15.

Condolence: I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort from your memories, as well as the comfort found in God’s word the bible. In the face of such tragedy, many wonder why God allows such suffering. In the bible, Romans 5:12 says, "That is why, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned." How loving of God to promise what is found at Revelation 21:4 which says, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
