Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

Hello, I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and I would like to express my condolences by sharing an encouraging scripture with you. The scripture is found at Revelation 21:3,4 which says: " With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." So we can look forward to the time when 'Death will be no more.' I would also like to leave a link below to a tract entitled " Can The Dead Really Live Again?"
