We're so sorry to hear you are mourning the recent loss of your loved one. May you find strength and comfort from the words of Psalms 46:1 which reads: "God is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress." Our loving God is there for us if we ask for his help (1 John 5:14). He didn't intend for us to grow old and die. He thus has made the SURE promise of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored to a beautiful paradise (Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55;11). Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your loved ones? What a joy it will bring all of us. You can go online to JW.ORG and find out more about this resurrection.
To the Family. Sorry for your loss. May you find some comfort in knowing that Ms. Smith is safe in the memory of God, who will remember every detail about her and bring her back to life again. John 5:28
To the Family: My condolences. The loss of a love one is indeed very painful . We were created to live not to die. Very soon Jehovah God will fulfill his promise, those who are sleeping in death will wake up, John 11:11; Daniel 12:2 and Acts 24:15. What a joyous time that will be, so confidently look to the future for the fulfillment of that promise. In the meantime let the Holy Bible continue to bring you comfort. John 17:3 W. J., Petersburg,VA
I remember the times as a young girl that my mom, dad, brother Michael and I traveled to Atlanta to cook and visit my cousin Deidre and my uncle, aunt and cousin Eddie. I have great memories of cooking in the kitchen with my mother, Aunt Geraldine and Aunt Margaret, laughing and barbecuing sometimes on the patio. Deidre will be missed and is loved by her family.
