My heartfelt condolences to the family of David Allen. Losing a loved one to death is one of the hardest things to deal with. We can draw comfort from the Bible account of the resurrection of Jesus' friend, Lazarus, recorded at John 11:11-14. Just as Jesus awakened Lazarus, one day we too will see our loved ones again as promised at John 5:28, 29 and Rev. 21:3, 4. Until that day comes it is my hope that you will draw comfort from the words found at Jeremiah 29:11, 12. We are assured that when we pray to Jehovah God, he will listen.
