"It was sad to hear we lost our abuelita in death. It’s a comfort to know God hates death as much as we do and views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) He has a longing to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again. -Job 14:14, 15. We will see her again in paradise. "
