  1. The loss of a loved one causes deep pain. The Bible promises can bring comfort at this difficult time. Isaiah 269 says, He will actually swallow up death forever.

  2. On behalf of the family and staff from Nash Correctional institution specially the Support Services section we want to express our deepest condolences and sympathy to the Rose family. Specially to Ofcr. Eugene Wilson Rose who is a great asset to our facility. May God’s peace and love comfort you through out this grieving time.

  3. My sincere condolences to the Fisher and Rose family for your loss. Even though I didn’t know Virginia personally, I enjoy sharing the promises that Jehovah God, has put in his word the Bible about the end of death and sorrow-Rev 214, 5! These words are faithful and True, because Jehovah doesn’t lie-Titus 12! Jesus also helps us to appreciate that we can be reunited with our dead loved ones! He demonstrated this when he with the help of his father Jehovah, he resurrected his close friend Lazurus who had been dead for four days! No doubt his family and friends were ecstatic-John 1111-44! No wonder Jesus expressed confidence in the Resurrection, and this can provide comfort to us to know that we can see our dead loved ones again-John 528, 29! Please feel free to email me, if you have questions [emailprotected] Also check out the official website of Jehovah`s Witnesses at http://www.jw.org, to Get answers to your Bible questions. May you be comforted!

  4. Envision this, God holds you by his hands & leads you through the days & months ahead. Pray diligently that God grant you comfort & peace during this time. Jesus spoke to them , saying..I am the light of the world. He that follows me will by no means walk in darkness, but will possess the light of life. John 8 12
