Although I did not know Ruby personally, reading of the death of your dear loved one saddened me. We don't always have to know a person or family to have empathy for them at such distressing time. Our loving Heavenly Father too has empathy for all of us who experience the sting of death. At Isaiah 63:9 it says of God: "During all of their distress it was distressing to him…" Because he feels our pain, mercifully our loving God assures us that death will be eliminated.- Revelation 21:4. And even further, at Acts 24:15, we have the hope of being reunited with our loved ones in the promised resurrection, into a world free from crime and violence, pain, sickness and death. I pray that these scriptures and knowing that others are praying for you, will comfort you until the time when you are reunited in the resurrection.Sincerely,
