Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceDear Family, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. My sincere condolences to you. May you think of the many beautiful memories that you shared with Willie, and cherish those precious moments. May the God of all comfort caress your heart with his living promise to one day reunite you together again in the future paradise mentioned at Revelation 21: 4,5. Our Dear Heavenly Father Jehovah (Psalms 83:18 )knows the many tears you cry and he will sustain you if you let him. I was thinking of you and hoping that you can find comfort during this difficult time.
You are not gone, nor are you forgotten. Your Spirit of Good shall continue to embrace and comfort.
I truly feel for you and the family are going through these very tough moments. May you find comfort in the words of: 'Nahum 1:7 which reads: 'Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of distress. He is mindful of those seeking refuge in him.' Yes, our Loving God gives us comfort if we allow him. 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). This is not just a mere dream, but is a certainty because Issues 55:11 tells us that everything God says he accomplishes without fail (Isaiah 55:11). What Joy it will be to welcome back to life our loved ones! Find out more about this resurrection online at JW.ORG
