So very sorry to learn of the tragic accident and loss of your Benjamin. I wish to share comfort from the Bible at this very sad time. Revelation 21:4; tells us: ?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.? For more comforting scriptures please visit: jw.org. The Bible and Bible based information found there has given me hope, strengthened my faith and helped me to find out why? I know it will do the same for you.
