My condolences to the Pemberton families. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of dear Billy. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 and Psalms 37:28,29 which states in part: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth and they will forever reside upon it”. Therefore the Bible promises that we may be reunited with our loved ones lost in death by means of an earthly resurrection. This is further confirmed by John 5:28,29 which says “Do not marvel at this, because the hours coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”. This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ’s ransom sacrifice. Thus we have a genuine hope of everlasting life in world without wickedness or suffering. I hope that these scriptures will be of some comfort to you.
