Add A Condolence

To the family and friends: please, accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. You can find comfort in the Bible account found at John 11; Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life". Please find more information about this beautiful promise at jw.org.

Dear Family, Please accept my condolences regarding the loss of your cherished one. I know the sorrow you feel right now is like a day without sun. Pain from the death of a loved one causes an agonizing sting. We can’t concentrate, we’re paralyzed, and we can’t focus on anything. Seems like all is lost at the thought of never seeing them again. But, TAKE HEART! God’s Word, the Bible says, this is not the end! Acts 24:15 notes that there will be a resurrection. YES! Again—we’ll see those whom we’ve loved and regarded with tender affection! Revelation 21:4 tells us that death will be no more, And that we won’t cry or mourn as we’ve done before. So, my hope is that I’ve encouraged you through my words of condolence. Please visit JW.org for further reference.
