I wanted to express my condolences to the Scolpino family. I am sorry to learn of your recent loss. The Bible talks about a comforting hope for the future. At Isaiah 25:8 it says, "He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Almighty God will wipe away the tears from all faces...For the Most High himself has spoken it." There will be a time when death will be eliminated by God, and the tears and pain that come with losing a loved one will be a feeling of the past. We have the hope of seeing our dead loved ones again, being united with them under God's righteous new Kingdom. (John 5:28,29; Matthew 6:9,10)
