Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My sincere condolences to the Webb family for your loss. I know that Frances will be missed! During this time of sorrow, mediating on the promises found in Jehovah word the Bible about the end of death(Isa 258), and being able to reunite with our dead loved ones, by means of a resurrection(John 528, 29), can truly bring us comfort(2 Cor. 13, 4)! Please feel free to visit our website http://www.jw.org Go to publicationsBooks and Brochures Search for the book What Does The Bible Really Teach, and please read Chapter 7 Real Hope for Your Loved Ones Who Have Died. I’m sure that you will find the scriptural information to be comforting! If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at [emailprotected] May the family be comforted!
Hi my name is Kayla and I am a local bible teacher. I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your loved one. There is a very comforting scripture at Isaiah 258. It says that soon Jehovah will swallow up death forever and that he will wipe away all of the tears. So we can all look forward to a time when death will be no more. I hope that this scripture can bring some true comfort during these difficult times.
Please except my deepest sympathy, During your time of grief. John 316 a twenty-six word parade of hope Beginning with God, ending with life, & urging us to do the same. Brief enough to write on a napkin or memorize in a moment, yet solid enough to weather two thousand years of storms, & question. What greater hope can we be given Life forever with those we love.
