I am so sorry to hear of the death of Winfred; death is such an ugly enemy that robs us of times with our loved ones. I would like to comfort the family with a scripture found at Acts 24:15, which reads: "There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous". What is this scripture saying? One day soon, all of our loved ones who have died will rise from the grave and be resurrected, no matter if they practiced good or bad. Yes, you will see Winfred again! But where will you be reunited with Winfred, in heaven or here on earth? Please visit jw.org to find the answer to this question.

To the Oakley family please know that others share your grief. My prayers are with you.I did not have the pleasure of meeting Winfred , but I knew his parents. His mom was a cook at Pickens County Training School Cafeteria when I was in school! She was a great cook. Rest in peace Winfred!

I went to school with Winfred. We both attended the Pickens county Training School in Carrollton Alabama. I remember Winfred being very quiet, very smart, very respectable, to the teachers and students. Winfred, I hope to see you again in heaven. My prayers are with the family. Minnie Curry Scott
