I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Ollie Neal. In this sad time, please keep in mind God's promise of the time when there will be no more death and he "will wipe away the tears from all faces". (Isaiah 25:8) May "the God of all comfort" strengthen your hearts in this difficult time. (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4)

Please allow Jehovah God(Psalm 83:18)to help you by means of his consoling word the Bible, he promise in the near future to do away with death and tears(Revelation 21:3,4),and promise to resurrect the dead(John 5:28,29). You can find real hope and strength by meditating on God's promises, he cares for you and feels for you in your pain(1 Peter 5:7).
