"My sympathies are with the Laughinghouse family. I am so sorry for the loss of your family member. It is hard to find comfort at a time like this but we can always find comfort from God's word the bible. A wonderful scripture to remember at a time like this is found at John 5:28 the words of Jesus "the hour is coming in which all those in the graves will hear my voice and come out." And at Matthew 5:5 Jesus said "Blessed are the meek since they shall inherit the earth." Tied in with these scriptures is God's promise found in Revelation 21:1-5. He says I will make the earth like new with no more tears, pain, sorrow or death.
