My sincere condolences to the Turner family for your loss. During this time of sorrow, may you mediate on Jehovah God`s promises found in his word the Bible that provide comfort-2 Cor. 13, 4. He promises that the last enemy death will be completely done away with-1 Cor. 1526! Jesus also assures us that we will be reunited with our dead loved ones through a resurrection-John 528, 29. May your family be comforted!
