To the Boyd family and friends, you have my condolences in your loss. When Lazarus died, Jesus told his disciples that he was going to awaken him (John 11:11). Jesus knew that death is a deep sleep state in which the dead are awaiting the promised resurrection (Acts 24:15). May you have faith in God’s promise that Jason will live again!
