:
Gen 49:33
And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people
There are 10 verses in the Old Testament saying after they died, they were gathered to their people, 1 also says he was gathered to his fathers.
Moses had died but he was seen and recognized at the transfiguration of Christ, Elijah was also there.
In the rich man and lazeras, the rich man recognized Abraham and he was also showing concern for his brothers who were still alive.
After Jesus was resurrected, they seemed to know who he was.
:
Matt 22:31-33
But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

I also have no family and have no one close so i can understand where your coming from, 1 Cor 13 says this: 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
WE all face death, we when we go to an event such as the death of a loved one need to remember Christ gives us a promise that He will come again and we all face death at some time and we know NOT when, are you ready when its your turn, find out more free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com bible questions www.bibleinfo.com talk to me also wgr88@yahoo.com God bless Hay why not on Sabbath[saturday is the seventh day sabbath sunday the first day has never been called holy or sabbth in the bible] visit a Seventh day Adventist Church in your area.

There are many truths that are not stated in the Bible. That's why God has given us His Church, the pillar and foundation of truth, so we can know the fullness of truth whether it is stated in the Bible or not. We certainly will know our loved ones in heaven. However, we will love everyone in heaven as God loves us. That means we won't have any "favorites", or love some people more than others. This is difficult to understand from our imperfect earthly perspective.

Yes, we will know one another and have a great deal of knowledge imparted to us and be like the angels themselves.
However, since God alone is the “judge”, I truly believe all trespasses and wrongdoings against one another will be wiped away from our memory...just as Jesus Christ washes them away from His memory once we are covered by the blood.
Absolutely. We will even know other Believers in Heaven and be friends with them like we knew them all our lives.
We will actually be angel like and have increased knowledge of all things because we will become “more like Christ” once we are made complete in Heaven.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
And remember, no matter how good and how great with think Heaven will be…it will be even better than that J
1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
Please accept my condolences on your loss.

Opinions vary - but I say "yes".
Regarding knowing our loved ones in Heaven; see I Corinthians 13:12 where it talks about now (here on earth) "we see through a glass darkly," but then (once we are in Heaven) we will see "fact to face;" and I shall know as I also am known. This seems to indicate that we will be recognizable and recognize people when we are in Heaven.

THE PROMISE TO ISRAEL FOR NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH
2Pet.3:13; Isa.45:18; 65:17; 66:1,22,23; Rev.21:1-5 ALL IS MADE NEW.
Eze.37:12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out
of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And ye shall know
that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought
you up out of your graves, 14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live,
and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have
spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.

2 Samuel 12:23 requires a deeper knowledge of study but this is one. When David’s infant son died as a result of David’s sin with Bathsheba, after his time of grief David declared, “But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me”. Here David assumed that he would be able to recognize his son in heaven, despite the fact that he died as a baby.

I think 1 Thess 4:17 that redneckg... stated is about the clearest one. Paul uses it to explain that we don't need to greive over those who have passed on because we will see them again. Certainly implies that we will know them
