I visited Mr. James Gunn's obituary page. His photo captured a life full of laughter. He surely touched the lives of his many students. I am so sorry for your loss. There is an encouraging promise in the bible in the book of Revelation chapter 21 verses 3 & 4. The Bible gives us hope that one day our dead loved ones will come back to life. Also in the book of John chapter 5 verses 28 & 29 Gods word says, "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear Jesus voice and come out." I find these promises in the bible to be quite comforting and look forward to the day when my Grandparents are resurrected and I will see them and hug them again. I really hope these promises are comforting to you too. I have attached an article that highlights eight resurrections described in the bible and how we can look of reward to a grand resurrection of our loved ones. The link is below.
