God does not kill, nor cause death. He gives life, and each person living is His property, and He loves them, each human is God's property. It is Satan who destroys, God who restores. So DO NOT BLAME GOD for what His arch enemy tries to make you believe; that GOD punishes by death. God is not the author of death---ever! And when a person dies who knows God, they are only asleep. And are blessed, and will in the resurrection live again, called forth from the grave by God who put the seed of life in him/her while they were living. You can ask God to forgive your sins and He will, He doesn't punish by use of death! What a distortion of a loving God! Blame Satan, the former Lucifer! and his cohorts. Or, recognize that Time and Chance happeneth to all.

    The Bible says that He both kills and gives life.

        It's true that God gives us life here on Earth, and when we live "Right," then he gives us eternal life in Heaven. But since he also gives us free will, sometimes, people cause tragedies like this to happen and innocent people and children are taken from us too early in their lives. God Bless this family and give the remaining members strengthen to endure and live on...
