What a handsome man, Mr. Bent was. I am so very sorry that you have suffered this loss. It is hard to know just what to say when a loved one dies. Be assured that our Loving Creator is aware of your loss and pain. Through His Son, Christ Jesus, he has arranged to bring back to life, "all those in the Memorial tombs." (John 5:28,29) At that time, Rev. 21:3-5 says: "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also, he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” I am very sorry for your loss. May God's Word, the Bible comfort you and your family.
