My sincere sympathies to the Melton family. I am very sorry for your loss. Please know that God is eager to do away with death. He hates death and views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) As an enemy of God, we can be sure that death will be conquered and will not last forever. Almighty God, Jehovah, will undo death by means of the resurrection hope. (John 5:28, 29) He yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again. (Job 14:14,15) What this can mean for you is a real hope of being reunited with your dear loved ones.
