Dear Family: What a privilege you had to have had your dear one with you for such a long time (Psalm 90:10). But, no matter how old our loved ones live to be, no matter how long they are with us, it is never long enough because we love them so much, and it breaks our hearts when death takes them from us (Psalm 89:48). Treasure the memories you have of Mrs. Nina. Remember the valuable lessons she taught you. May you find comfort in knowing that our Loving Creator has promised that soon 'all those in the memorial tombs (graves) will hear his voice and come out', including Mrs. Nina. (John 5:28,29). Death will be destroyed (1 Corinthians 15:26, Isaiah 25:8) and mankind will then be able to live on this earth, free of sickness, old age and death as God originally intended. (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:15; Psalm 37:11,29; Psalm 115:16). That is God's promise to us and it is something He's yearning to do because he cares for us (1Peter 5:7, Job 14:14,15). We can have faith that ALL he says will come to pass for he is the True God (Psalm 83:18) that cannot lie (Titus 1:2) My deepest sympathy to you.
