I wanted to send my love and sympathies to the Adkins family. I’m so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the Bible’s promise of a resurrection. John 5:28,29 says, “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” What this can mean for you is a real hope of seeing your dear loved ones again. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
