Hello Family,

We know personally what toll death brings upon us-- it brings mourning, pain, tears, heartaches and the loss of a dearly, loved relative, friend, matriarch, etc.

Please take comfort in what Jehovah God, our loving Creator has provided for us in his Word the Bible.

Job 14: 14,15
Revelation 21: 3,4
John 5: 28, 29

To The Family,I am truly sorry for your loss. I know you have many wonderful memories of your time with Mrs. Bertha. When you reflect on the memories you shared they will bring a smile to your heart. I know this is a difficult time, but the Bible gives us a wonderful future hope , Revelation 21:4 says death will be no more. The Bible promises we will live in a world free of death. This is an awesome future promise made by Almighty God to obedient mankind. May you have peace.

I am very sorry for your loss. However, Almighty God is not the cause of death; neither does he take our loved ones away from us to be with Him. (Psalm 83:18; James 1:13) Death is our enemy and soon it will be brought to nothing. (1 Cor. 15:26) We have the hope of a resurrection at Acts 24:15. We will be able to see our lost loved ones again on a restored earth. (Psalm 37:11, 29) I hope this brings you peace.
