Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your loved one. As you prepare to lay them to rest; to sleep in death for just a little while (John 1111) I hope your family will find solace in the resurrection promise of Jesus; to awaken those who are now sleeping in death (John 528,29) to restore them back to life; this time with the hope to live eternally on the renewed Paradise earth, so that Gods will, will be done on the earth, as it is in Heaven..-Matthew 69,10; Luke 2343. Until that wonderful blessed promise is fulfilled, and you are reunited with your loved one again; may Jehovah God soothe your grieving hearts now and grant you peace and comfort, during this most sadden time..-Matthew 54.
My sincere condolences to the White family, for your loss. Even though I didn’t know William personally, I’m sure that he will truly be missed! I enjoy sharing the comforting promises found in God`s word the Bible, about death and the hope for our dead loved ones-2 Cor.13-5! Jehovah God(Ps.8318) promises that he will swallow up death forever, and wipe all the tears from all faces,-Isa 258! How wonderful it will be to never read another obituary, or to never go to another funeral! The bible also helps us to appreciate that we can be reunited with our dead loved ones. Jesus helps us to see that this reuniting will be by means of the resurrection that is described at John 528, 29! How wonderful it will be to see our dead loved ones again! There are nine resurrection accounts in the Bible, such as when Jehovah gave Jesus the power to resurrect his close friend Lazarus. You can imagine how his family rejoiced to have their brother back-John 1111-44! These accounts can really help comfort and build our faith in Jehovah promises! If you have any questions, please visit the official website of Jehovah Witnesses, http://www.jw.org. When you get on the sight, go to Publications. Then go to the books and brochures section and search for the book,What Does The Bible Really Teach, and read chapter 7-Real Hope For Our Dead Loved Ones Who Have Died. You can email me at [emailprotected] May your family be comforted!
God will guard & guide us through the days ahead. In times of sorrow, as in the days of joy. He brings us hope & comfort, nothing can destroy. In the house of darkness when our dreams have flown, he brings us peace & healing. 2 Cor. 1 3,4. We are not alone through times of doubling, still he understands. We are touched by God walking hand in hand.
