To The Barber Family and Friends,I am truly sorry for your loss. I know you have many wonderful memories of your time with Ms. Ruby. When you reflect on the memories you shared they will bring a smile to your heart. I know this is a difficult time, but the Bible gives us a wonderful future hope. Revelation 21:4 says death will be no more. The Bible promises we will live in a world free of death. This is an awesome future promise made by Almighty God to obedient mankind. May you have peace

To the family and friends of Mrs. Barber, I send my sincerest condolences. It is always hard to lose a family member or friend in death. There are no words that anyone can say to truly ease the pain. I do know that the Creator of all is here to comfort each and every one of us to the hundredth degree. 2 Corinthians 1:2-4 tells us that God is the God of all confort as well as Jesus Christ. They want us to not hurt so bad. That's why Jehovah sent his only begotten son, Jesus, to give his perfect life for mankind in order to enjoy a better future. Please visit JW.ORG for additional information on how you can cope with the lost of a love one.

To family and friends my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one . Losing a loved one in death is very painful. Almighty God Jehovah (Psalms 83:18; God's name) promises that he will resurrect millions of people who have died . Read Isaiah 26:19.
"There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous ." Read
John 5:28,29. What a wonderful time that will be when we will see our loved ones again right here on the earth! Learn more about Jesus Christ and how he will make God's wonderful promises come true at jw.org. May the God of comfort and tender mercies sustain you during this most difficult time. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4.
