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.

My deepest condolence to the family. Death is hard to deal with and in time the pang of the lost of your love one may become more bearable. May the God of tender mercies and comfort be with you.2Cor.1:3.
