My sympathy to the family. Many think that old age, sickness and death are a natural part of life, but it is not otherwise we would look forward to it. Thankfully it is not God's will that families suffer the pain of seeing a loved one get sick and die and He promise's to swallow up death forever (Isaiah 25:8). He also promise's to bring back to life by means of his son Jesus Christ all those dead in the memorial tombs today (John 5:28,29).
