    My condolences to the Ward Family. May you be comforted by the promise of the resurrection, and the end to sickness and death forever. God makes this wonderful promise to us at Revelation 21:4 and Isaiah 25:8. So soon death will be no more, and we wont have to bury our loved ones ever again. At John 5:28, 29 God promises that all those in the memorial tombs will hear the voice of his Son Jesus, and come out of their memorial tombs. May you find comfort in these wonderful promises from Jehovah God and keep your loved one close in mind as you await the fulfillment of Gods promise.
