Dear parents and family of Conor, I am so sorry for the tragic loss of your young son. We may wonder why? or if their is anything to look forward to? Jesus well knew the Bible statement:" Time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all"[Ecclesiastes 9:11]. He knew that sometimes bad things just happen. The wonderful future resurrection hope is the promise found at John 5:28,29. Revelation 21:3,4 states that in the future ' death will be no more. and pain will be no more, the former things will have passed away.' Our Creator, God, by means of his son Jesus, is going to undo the tragedies that touch our lives today and we will be able to welcome back onto the paradise earth,our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death. as you read the above texts in your Bible, may they comfort you. sincerely dianne mullins
