My condolences to the Martinez families. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of dear Maria. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 and Psalm 37:28,29 which states in part: “Your dead ones will live…They will rise up”. And the Bible also says “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 hour is 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 a world without wickedness or suffering. I hope that these scriptures will be of some comfort to you.
My Aunt Lucy was a wonderful and humble woman. A very devoted wife and wonderful FUR mommy to Red. She will be greatly missed. She meant the world to my momma, her sisters and numerous nieces and nephews. Dear sweet angel in heaven we will see each other again. Love you, love you, love you Lucy.
