“Are you mourning someone close to you? Look up to heaven and draw comfort from 
there; your best kindred are above.

‘When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up,’ (Psalm
27:10).

God will be with you in the hour of death: ‘though I walk through the valley of 
the shadow of death, thou art with me,’ (Psalm 23:4).

Other friends you cannot keep. God is a friend you cannot lose.

He will be your guide in life, your hope in death, and your reward after death.”
