To the family of Neil F. Sullivan: Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Death affects everyone on the face of this earth, yet when it touches us personally, few seek the comfort they search for. The unscriptual doctrines that are taught concerning death do not leave those grieving with comfort or a hope, but they do leave many with unanswered questions. The response that "God works in mysterious ways", does not satisfy the spiritual needs of those who are grieving (Matthew 5:3). However, many have found comfort in the pages of God's word the Bible (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). In God's word we find the promise that we can be reunited with our loved ones (John 5:28, 29, Acts 24:15). The Bible tells us where this happy reunion will take place (Psalm 37: 11, 29, Matthew 5:5). We are told why we die (Genesis 3:17-19, Romans 5:12), and that the God of the Bible will end death forever (1 Corinthians 15:26, Revelation 21:3, 4). In the model prayer, also called the lord's prayer, readers are taught to pray for God's Kingdom (Matthew 6:10). Learning the truth about the God of the Bible (Psalm 83:18, Revelation 4:11), God's Kingdom (Daniel 2:44), and the state of those who have died (Ecclesiastes 9:5), is the start to finding true comfort concerning loved ones who are sleeping in death, as well as satisfying answers to many other questions (John 8:32, John 11:11).

To the Sullivan Family: I am deeply sorry that your family has lost the love of your life. During this difficult time, please know that a very vital aid to enduring is Prayer. This will help sustain all of you. (2 Corinthians Chapter One verse Three) God's Word will also provide help because in it we learn that our Father is near to those who are 'broken at heart and crushed in spirit.' (Psalm Chapter Thirty-Four verse Eighteen) He will come to your rescue and buoy you up when it seems that you cannot go on. May you find comfort in knowing that he will not only help you now, but has provided the hope of the resurrection when all who have lost loved ones will one day see them again in Paradise to live forever. (Acts Chapter Twenty-four verse Fifteen)
