To The Family, At Job 14:14, Job asked the question, "If a man dies, can he live again?..." He answers that question in verse 15, "You (Jehovah) will call and I will answer you." Job had confidence in the resurrection hope and we can too (John 5: 28,29). Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Jesus brings this point out at John 11:25. We can be thankful that Almighty God has given Jesus the authority to bring our dear loved ones back from the grave. Please allow the resurrection hope to comfort you.

I am sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the family will find some comfort and strength in Jesus promise of the earthly resurrection(Acts 24:15) and the renewed Paradise earth, where death will be no more and no family will mourn the death of a loved one.-Rev.21:3,4; John 5:28,29; Luke 23:43. May GOD(Psalms 83:18)grant you peace and comfort now, during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.

I am so sorry for your loss but we know that the almighty God Jehovah is a loving God and he knows that death is something that really hurt and saddens us so he tells us at Rev.21: 3, 4 that he will do away with all things that cause us pain and suffering. This is a future promise that we can all look forward to.
