To the Family of Gardner P. Tripp:
Please accept my sympathy at the loss of your dear loved one. The grief you are now experiencing is very natural. Jesus called death an "enemy" 1 Corinthians 15:26, and he himself even expressed his grief by giving way to tears when his friend Lazarus died. However, Jesus also said at John 5:28, 29 that the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs grave will hear his voice and come out to a resurrection. What a wonderful time of reunion that will be! At Revelation 21:3, 4, we find the heart-warming promise that God "will wipe every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pay be anymore. The former things have passed away."
I hope that these words of encouragement from the Bible can help to soothe the pain you are now feeling.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Niedrist
