Add A Condolence

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Willie; death is such an ugly enemy that robs us of times with our loved ones. I would like to comfort the family with a scripture found at Acts 24:15, which reads: "There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous". What is this scripture saying? One day soon, all of our loved ones who have died will rise from the grave and be resurrected, no matter if they practiced good or bad. Yes, you will see Willie again! But where will you be reunited with Willie, in heaven or here on earth? Please visit jw.org to find the answer to this question.
