To the Alexander Family:
I am writing a note at this time to offer your family comfort at a time of your bereavement.
You have my deepest sympathy. Death is a sting that God says will soon be done away with. Assuredly, the scripture at 1 Cor. 15:26 says: "And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing!" Our loving Creator knows how hard this is on one's family to lose a loved one. This was never his purpose for mankind! We are told at Ezekiel 18:32 “I do not take any pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.”
As you can see, it is not God's will for us to die, which is why he has given us the hope of everlasting life! (Rev 21:3,4). As the God and Father of tender mercies, he wants you to find comfort in Him through prayer and to draw close to him. (James 4:8)

Sorrowfully submitted,
Darlene
