May the words found at Isaiah 33:24 give you comfort in knowing that no resident will be sick again. God's promise of a world without pain and suffering are guaranteed at Isaiah 25:8 when death will be swallowed up forever. Ralph will be reunited with his loved ones into an earthly paradise as originally purposed for mankind.
