They are with us in our memories but they are not here. What kind of Heaven would be having to see our sorrows and desasters. There is no bad in Heaven. And that would bring all the earthly bad into Heaven.

Providing love, security and companionship.  As do the rest of the heavenly host.  Who never grow tired of hearing us, and comforting us, and protecting us from harm.

>>> A few verses for those who think you can pray to dead ones. Like saints or relatives. Isaiah 8:19-20.  19. When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God?  Why consult the dead on behalf of the living.  20. Consult God's instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.
