My sincere condolence to the Watson family for your loss. Death creates a hole of sorrow and a void in our emotions. To comfort us, Jehovah provides Comfort though his Word the Bible-2 Cor. 1 3, 4. How comforting it is to know that death will be done away with-Rev. 214,5! How wonderful it would be to see our dead loved ones again! Jesus assures us that we will reunite with our dead ones. John 528, 29 helps to appreciate that there will be a resurrection! Yes with the help of Jehovah through Jesus Christ, just like Lazarus, our loved ones will come out of the grave-John 1140-45! May you be comforted!
Bryan, Beth & Colin, Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow. The smile on Boot’s face every time we met assured me of his friendship. May God fill the void that you now have in your hearts. Grady
Brian and Beth and Colin, So sorry to learn today of Mr. Donald’s passing. Our prayers are with you during your time of loss. May you know the presence, comfort and peace of the Holy Spirit. Royce & Wanda
