My sincere condolences to the Raines family for such a loss of a love one. In the Bible it speaks about death being an enemy and how Jehovah God will do away with it forever. Revelation 21:3,4

To the Raines family I am sorry for your loss. May the "God of all comfort", comfort each of you during your time of sorrow. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) Almighty God refers to death as an enemy and he promises to do away with it forever. (1 Corinthians 15:26; Revelation 21:3,4). May the memories of Mr. Raines be a source of peace and comfort for the family.

To family and friends my deepest sympathies to you for the loss of your love one. Losing a loved one in death is very painful. The Bible offers a wonderful hope for our loved ones who have died. The Scriptures found at John 5:28,29 and Isaiah 26:19 promise that our loved ones who have died can live again right here on the earth!
Psalms 37:29
May the God of all comfort and tender mercies sustain you at this difficult time.
2 Corinthians 1:3,4

To the Raines family I offer my sincere thoughts of peace and calm to come to you and your family. Rev. 20:14 assures us that death & the grave will be hurled into the lake of fire never causing sorrow to any of us again. Keep praying & looking to Jehovah's kingdom to come & his will be done on earth as in the heavens, where no pain, sickness, nor death will be.
