Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Rick will be missed! He had a great loving family that will truly miss him. He is a better place now with no more pain. He is with the angels making them laugh like he did for so many people during his time here on earth. What a great personality he had!
My deepest sympathy in your loss of your loved one. There is no greater pain, then that of death. The Bible, gives us comfort in our time of grief. One of the verses is John 3 16, well known, given us much hope. For God loved the world so much that he gave his one & only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. What a grand hope for us, to be able to have eternal life with our loved ones.
Please accept my sincere sympathy on the recent loss of your dear loved one. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May the God of comfort be with you in this time of sorrow. May these words bring you hope, And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. (Revelation 214) This promise will be fulfilled one day, until then, may all your memories sustain you in the days to come. Please visit jw.org to answer any questions about this hope.
