Life is such a precious gift from our God Jehovah (Psalms 83:18) and when that life is lost it brings such great sorrow. The Bible promises at  Acts 24:14  "...there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteousness ." The Bible assures use that our love ones will live again when God allows Jesus to call them back to life to live on a paradise earth. Psalms 37:11 says "the meek will possess the earth and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." The Bible guarantees a bright future for obedient mankind. Please put your hope in Gods promises.

Please accept our deepest condolences for the loss of your dear loved one.  When a loved one passes it is never easy, but our Heavenly Father, Jehovah is there to comfort us.  At 1 Peter 5:7 it says to throw all your anxiety on God because he cares for you. And Isaiah 25:8,9 says "He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces...."  For additional comforting scriptures, you can visit the website: www.jw.org and in the Search bar you can just type in something like, death of a loved one, and you can find more information on how you can cope with losing a loved one.  With sincere sympathy.

I am so sorry for your loss. The Bible assures us "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he save."Psalms34:18 So may your family take comfort in our God who cares for us. With heartfelt sympathy. Isaiah 25:8

Waldo was always an adopted member of our family. He and Rudolph were closer than brothers forever and they both will be missed. We still laugh when we think about them both. May the family stay strong and continue praying to endure the difficult days ahead.
