Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Peele family, I’m so sorry for your loss and hope you’ll accept my condolence and deep regrets for I lost my entire family to this enemy death and I would like to share where I found comfort and hope at that time. I found this in what I read in Jehovah Gods word the Bible at John528,29 for there it tells us we’ll see our love ones in the resurrection when Jesus brings them back here on earth and Isaiah258 tells us that this enemy death will be swallowed up forever. These and other scriptures help me cope with my loss and get through each day because now I know I’ll see my love ones again and so can you. I wanted to share this with you at this time when comfort and hope is needed hoping that this will help you also in some way for this is my purpose in sharing this with you at this time and please know that I do share your grief and hope you’ll feel fee to let me know if i accomplished my purpose. Hoping to hear from you. Sincerely, GM

My condolences to the family of Kerner Peele, the Bible offer comfort because it give hope for the dead. Acts 2415 indicate soon in the future a resurrection of the dead to live again on earth. This will happen because God cannot lie Titus 12.
