My deepest sympathy in the loss of your dear Paul . I wasn't able to know him, but I do know the pain of loss. When I lost my grandfather I depended on the scriptures for comfort. One of such scriptures is John 5:28,29 where Jesus promised to bring our loved ones back to life. He showed us how and where he would do this when he resurrected his freind Lazarus back to life. (John 11:38-44) As we await the day that we hold those we have lost in our arms once again, please draw comfort knowing God is close to those whose hearts are broken. (Psalms 34:18)
