Please accept my family’s heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. May you find comfort in fond memories, and The Almighty God’s promise in the Bible, to restore those asleep in death to perfect life on a paradise Earth.
I’m very sorry for your loss. The Bible can offer a much needed comfort at this difficult time. John 5:28, 29 says, “Do not be amazed at this, or the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.” For more information please go to http://www.JW.org.
