My sincere condolences to the family of Susan Gergen – May you find comfort in your loving memories, beautiful pictures and in recalling the many talents of Mrs. Gergen. God has promised that a time will come when no one will say “I am sick” (Isaiah 24:33). In the Bible book of Genesis, we notice that God intended for mankind to live in perfect conditions in the Garden of Eden, which was a paradise where everything was “very good” (Gen 1:31). Suffering and death were not a part of God’s purpose but was introduced through Adam’s disobedience (Gen 2:17).Our loving Creator has promised that soon pain and death will be no more (Revelation 21:4).The Paradise that was originally promised for the earth in the Garden of Eden will be restored. It is hoped that you are comforted by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).
