I'm so sorry for your loss: During this difficult time "May the Peace of God that Surpasses all Understanding, Guard your Hearts, Minds, and Thoughts, by means of Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7

To The Family, You have my deepest sympathy on the loss of your dear beloved family member. Jehovah knew that death would cause much suffering, therefore he provided a ransom in Jesus so that we may have an opportunity to live in the future without the threat of dying. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life," at John 11:25. He will resurrect obedient mankind to a beautiful paradise home. Take comfort in this guarantee.

May the God of comfort Provide peace during your time of sorrow. May encouragement of Revelation 21:4 fill your heart.

I am very sorry for your loss. May the love of family, friends, and Almighty God bring you comfort and support during your time of grief and afterward. (Ps. 83:18; Isaiah 41:10) May the hope of a resurrection on a restored earth bring you peace. (Acts 24:15; Psalm 37:11, 29)
