Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Mrs. Iona Gaines Mitchell. I know the family will really miss her. For this reason I hope this Bible verse will be of comfort to the family. It reads "Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; He saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18. Be strong for each other.

To family and friends...A life without tears, death, and pain will soon be a reality. Please know that Jehovah God cares for you and feels for you in your pain(1 Peter 5:7). He has promised in the near future to do away with death and tears(Revelation 21:3,4), and promise to resurrect the dead(John 5:28,29). Lazarus was dead 4 days and Jesus called him out of the tomb showing what he will do in the future. So, have faith in Jehovah God's promises and find real hope and the strength you need during this time of sorrow.
