Brittany says
I wanted to send my love and sympathies to the Marlatt family. I am so sorry to learn of your recent loss. Losing a loved one in death can leave us with feelings of sadness and grief. However, the Bible provides a hope that will help to comfort us and to replace those negative feelings with those of happiness for the future. 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.” These verses speak of the hope we have to be reunited with our loved ones who have died, to experience a time when “death will be no more.” (Revelation 21:4)
