May Jehovah the God of all tender mercies comfort you: By meditating and trusting in God’s promises found in the Bible you can find real hope and strength to keep going during this difficult time... Revelation 21:3-5 Promises us a future blessing of no more pain, suffering, nor anyone dying... Acts 24:15 Lets us Think of the Joy we will have when we see our dear loved ones again alive and well right here on earth. May the peace of God be with all of you,
