I am very sorry to hear of your recent loss. I would like to share a brief scripture that can remind you of God's loving promise for our loved ones who have passed away. At Isaiah 26:19, Jehovah God promises us, "Your dead will live . . . And the earth will let those powerless in death come to life." That means that you can look forward to seeing Joyce again, when God brings those who have died back to life. I hope this helps you find a measure of comfort in your time of loss.
