Reading God's word of hope for those who have passed on is faith building and so encouraging. John 6:40. He has given us the wonderful hope of life without end at last. John 3:16.

My deepest condolences to the Sieffert family. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring you comfort during this difficult time. Knowing that there is a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reasurring.
