I am very sorry to hear about the death of your loved one Mary Dassie and my spiritual sister. Death is never easy, in fact, at 1 Corinthians 15:26 death is described as our "enemy." Yet the bible does offer hope at Revelation 21:4, 'he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more. The former things have passed away.' I look forward to the fulfillment of John 5:28,29 when those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.

We're sorry to hear about your recent loss. Accept our sincere condolences. The words of Philippians 4:13 can be very soothing in these moments, it says: "For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power." What a loving God who cares about each one of us. He didn't intend for us to grow old and die. He thus has made the SURE promise of a resurrection right here on earth when it is restored to a beautiful paradise (Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55;11). Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your loved ones? What a joy it will bring all of us. You can go online to JW.ORG and find out more about this resurrection. ~ R&R Lopez
