  1. Praying for my family as we go through the loss of a strong, loving woman who we love very much and will truly missed!

  2. To the family, From my family to yours we express our deepest condolences to the loss of your loved one. We know that death is not something natural to us and it’s a hard pill to swallow. In the Bible death is described as a sting. (1 Corinthians 1555, 56) but death soon will be done away with according to Revelations 214. Our God Jehovah is going to put an end to Death very soon we will never have to worry about losing anyone we love again. (Psalms 8318) Jehovah is going to use his son Jesus Christ to resurrect those in the memorial tombs and they will come out and be with us again. (John 528, 29) But until that time please continue to be comforted with the Bible and the many promises that God has promised us in due time.for more information please visit our website at http://www.jw.org. Again our condolences goes to your. J. Bryant
