My sincere condolences to the Strickland family for your loss. During this time of mourning, it can be of great comfort to mediate on the wonderful promises Jehovah has had recorded in his word the Bible-2 Cor. 13, 4. One day death will be no more, and no more mourning and tears of sorrow will be a thing of the past. Jehovah will make all things new! -Rev.213-5. We can be reunited with our dead loved ones! Jesus assured us of that, by drawing our attention to the resurrection hope at John 528, 29! May your family be comforted!
