My sincere condolences to the family of Doreen for your loss. Without a doubt she will be missed! Even though death creates a hole in our emotions and our families, meditating on Jehovah `s promises outlined in his word, can provide us with comfort and hope-2 Cor. 13-4! Jehovah lets us know that death will be done away with completely-1 Cor. 1526! Can the dead live again The scriptures help us to appreciate that we can reunite one day with our family right here on earth. The resurrection account of Jesus with the Help of his father raising Lazarus, gives us insight to how the resurrection will take place on earth-John 1141-45! Jesus assures us that we can reunite with our dead loved ones-John 528, 29! May your family be comforted!
