    I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Eugene will be missed by his family and friends, but he will not be forgotten by our heavenly father Jehovah. We often wonder can the dead really live again. God says there is going to be a resurrection. (John 5:28,29) This means that Eugene will be given a fresh new start with the prospect of living forever. (Psalms 37:29) I hope this will bring you comfort knowing that you have an opportunity to see him again. So don’t say goodbye, say see you later until the time that you can share more wonderful times together.
