I am truly sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that " God will wipe out every tear from your eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning, outcry, nor pain be anymore the former things will pass away" Revelation 21:4,5. Our loving God Jehovah will do away with death forever, and our loved ones will have the opportunity to live again right here on the earth by means of the RESURRECTION. For the Bible promises "there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous" Acts 24:15. We can rest assure, those who have already died are safe in Gods memory waiting to be called Job 14:13-15 John 5:28. I send my deepest sympathy and condolences to you and the family. May the peace of God, guard your hearts and minds during your time of sorrow.

To the Griffin family, may the peace which comes from the memories of love shared comfort you now and in the days ahead. And know that the God of comfort will comfort each of you during this difficult time (2 Corinthians 1:3,4). You can also find comfort in the scripture at Isaiah 25:8,9 where Jehovah God promises to swallow up death forever and wipe the tears from all faces. With deepest sympathy.
