Condolence: Dear Thornton family, it saddens me to know that your dear loved one has fallen asleep in death. But you can take comfort in knowing that is how God views death, as sleeping. Just as easy it is to wake someone from sleeping; that is exactly what the bible promises will take place to wake our loved ones from sleeping in death. (Luke 8:51-54) It will not be long before you will see the truthfulness of those words. Please allow that hope to bring you comfort as you await the fulfillment of those promises and when the last enemy death is brought to nothing. (1 Corinthians 15:26)
