Julie,

I am so sorry for your loss and I pray that the Father will comfort you. We have such a great day to look forward in heaven when we get to see those who have gone before us in Christ Jesus. What a celebration it will be on that day!

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words. 1Thess 4:13-18

(John 6:39-40) and
(John 10:4, 9, & 14)

(6:39) "And this is the will of the Father who sent Me, that all He has given Me I lose nothing, but will raise it up on the last day." (6:40) "For this is the will of My Farther, that everyone who beholds the Son and belives in Him, may have eternal life; and I Myself will raise them up on the last day." (10:4) "When he puts forth all His own, He goes before them, and the sheep follow Him because they know his voice." (10:9) "I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." (10:14) "I am the good shepherd; and I know My own, and My own know Me."
