Sending our condolences to the family. God (Psalms 83:18) is the Creator of life. The Bible calls Jehovah God “the source of life.” (Psalm 36:9; Acts 17:24, 25) The One who gave life to all living creatures is certainly capable of restoring life to someone who has died. He has resurrected humans in the past on earth through his son Jesus Christ and he is eager to do it again. John 11:29-44; 1 Corinthians 15:26.
My love and deepest sympathy to the family on their loss of dear, sweet Ellie. She delighted in being part of your lives, and beamed when talking about you all. Special thoughts are with Marvin; I know he will greatly miss the love of his life. I loved Ellie and was blessed to be part of her extended family. I will always remember her kindnesses to me.
