Cousin Donnie, You are Free now. To be absent from the body, is to be Present with the Lord. You shall go out with joy, and led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten. Love, Jean

I am very sorry for your loss. Jehovah God promises that what there will be a time when we will no longer have to experience death and those who have died will be resurrected back to life. Until that time, may this hope bring you a measure of comfort during your time of grief.

We deeply feel for what you and the family are going through. At times, there isn't much that can soothe the pain this grief brings, but you may find some comfort in the words of Psalms 9:9 which reads: 'Jehovah will become a secure refuge for the oppressed, A secure refuge in times of distress.' Yes, our Loving God can help if we allow him to (1John 5:14). He also has made the SURE promise of a resurrection right here on earth, when it is restored to a Paradise (Acts 24:15; Psalms 37:9-11,29). No, not just a dream, but for a certainty he will do it, for Isaiah 55:11 shows us that everything he says, he accomplishes without fail. You can find out more online at JW.ORG
