V.Taylor December 09, 2017 Dear Family, When under trial Jesus was able to endure because of the joyful hope he maintained in Jehovah God's promises (Hebrews 12:2, Psalm 83:18) May you all find that same hope and comfort in this time of great sorrow by following Jesus' example of "coming to know the only true God" (John 17:3). It is that knowledge that will provide the comfort and hope that will allow you to endure the death of your dear loved one....secure in the hope that (just as God promised) she is asleep in His memory (Job 14:14-15), awaiting the chance to be resurrected (John 5:28-29). Please read the cited scriptures in your copy of the Bible to be truly comforted.
