It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And when it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your loved one can be most difficult to bear. The Bible however holds out a wonderful hope. The scriptures indicate that it is possible to be runited with Edward in the near future right here on earth under peaceful conditions. At that time humans will have the prospect of enjoying perfect health, and they will never have to die again. Jesus said in John 5:21,28,29 "Just as the father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to. Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear Jesus voice and come out." Jesus promised that millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful, paradisaic conditions (John 3:16, 17:3 and Psalm 37:29). Until that day arrives remember God who is the "hearer of prayer" can equip you with the "power beyond what is normal" to go from one day to the next (2 Corinthians 4:7, Psalm 65:2). Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.
As a 1958 classmate, I want to say I’m saddened to hear of your loss.
Unfortunately Ed missed some of our reunions and I haven’t seen him
in many years. Ed was truly a great friend and fun to be around.
May God Bless you and your family. RIP Ed
Sorry to learn of Ed’s passing. May God give you comfort and peace.
