arry I see you've transitioned to glory. We had some good times back when Minturn Picnic was everything, the twins and when Riverdale was nice, clean and peaceful. It was so good knowing you and having spent time conversing all while your beautiful smile lit up the room. Your smile was your gift to the world. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten.

To The Grieving Family of Mr. Larry Carmichael.... A message of Solace at The Time of Your Lost of a Loved One…………

JESUS’ ROLE IN COMFORTING ALL WHO MOURN God intended that Jesus have a key role in providing comfort. Among other tasks that God assigned him, Jesus was “to bind up the brokenhearted” and “comfort all who mourn.” (Isaiah 61:1, 2) As foretold, Jesus took a special interest in people who were “toiling and loaded down.”—Matthew 11:28-30. Today, the Son of God is not present on earth to comfort us personally. But his Father, Jehovah, “the God of all comfort,” continues to help those in need. (2 Corinthians 1:3) Consider four principal means that God uses to comfort people. • The Bible. “All the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope.”—Romans 15:4. • God’s Holy Spirit. Not long after Jesus’ death, the whole Christian congregation entered into a period of peace. Why? “It walked in the fear of Jehovah and in the comfort of the holy spirit.” (Acts 9:31) The holy spirit, God’s active force, is very powerful. God can use it to comfort anyone in any circumstance. • Prayer. “Do not be anxious over anything,” the Bible advises us. Rather, it says, “let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers.”—Philippians 4:6, 7. • Fellow Christians can provide a comforting ‘safety net’ of true friends. The apostle Paul described his companions as “a source of great comfort” in times of “distress and tribulation.”—Colossians 4:11; 1 Thessalonians 3:7.

It is my sincere hope that these words/this knowledge helps to sustain you, your family during your Bereavement… Along with your Bible Go to www.jw.org 'Bible' or 'Publications' to answer any bible topic
