My heart aches for the Griffin family to lose in death your precious loved one Drexel. Words are so limited that can give comfort, so I would like to share with you beautiful scripture where our heavenly Father, Jehovah (Psalm 83:18) invites you to throw all your burdens on him and he will sustain you in your time of grief. Psalm 34:18 Jehovah promises us that he is going to do away with man's greatest enemy, death. Rev. 21: 4; 'And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. Isaiah 33:24 guarantees us: 'And no resident will say 'I am sick,' ever again. God's kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises here on earth, including the resurrection. None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, but we are all guaranteed a resurrection. Our savior, Jesus, said; John 6: 40; 'For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who recognizes the Son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life, and I will resurrect him on the last day'. Jesus also said; John 5: 28; 'Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out...' John 11:23-25; 'Jesus said to her: 'I am the resurrection and the life.' The one who exercises faith in me, even tho he dies, will come to life.' Acts 24:15 enlightens us: 'And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.' I pray that Jesus's promise to reunite us with our loved ones on resurrection day will carry you through the difficult days ahead and gradually replace your tears of grief with tears of joy as you reflect on your precious memories of happier times with Drexel.

Please accept my sincere condolences. It is a very difficult time; but I hope you can find some comfort in the words of 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4, which reads: “3 Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.” Yes, we can rely on our Loving God (1John5:14). He also has made the sure promise of a resurrection right here on earth when it is restored to a beautiful paradise (Acts 24:15; Psalms 37:9-11, 29, Isaiah 55:11). Then death will be gone forever (Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 21:3,4) Find out more about this resurrection online at JW.ORG
