To the family of Ms. Juanita Brooks please accept my sincere condolence. We all face the loss of a dear loved one. At times like this I like to turn to the bible for comfort. The scripture at 2 Cor. 1:2,3 calls Jehovah the God of all comfort. May his love surround you at this time. I look forward to the fulfillment of John 5:28, 29 which tells us that a time is coming when those we have lost will hear Jesus' voice and come back to life. Also, Rev. 21:3, 4 when death will be no more. It is my wish that these scriptures provide you with comfort. For more encouraging words please visit jw.org which will also provide ways to cope with grief. Again, I am sorry for your loss.

I want to express my deep felt sympathy to the family of Juanita Brooks. In God's word the Bible we read that sadness pain and death will be done away with. Revelation 21:3,4 says God will wipe away all tears and sorrow and even death will be no more. For further answers to Bible-based questions please contact www.JW.org.
