Lit a candle in memory of Marie Kissane Maurer
Marie was a wonderful friend that had class and always thought of others. She never complained and had a great smile.
Marie, you leave behind only lovely thoughts and memories for those of us who knew you. You grace heaven now with Art and Kevin and many of your other friends and family as God brings you home to his Kingdom. Eileen Williams
My sincere condolence to the Maurer family for your loss. Even though I didn’t know Marie personally, I know she will be missed! During this time of sorrow, mediating on the wonderful promises that Jehovah has in his word the Bible, about the end of death, and the wonderful hope for our dead loved ones, can truly be comforting-2 Cor. 13, 4! Regarding the end of death, the scripture at Isa. 258 helps us to appreciate that Jehovah is going to swallow up death! How wonderful it will be not to ever hear about anyone passing away in death! Jehovah is also going to wipe away all tears of sorrow from our faces! Jehovah can’t lie, so we can have confidence that what he promises to do, he will do it-Titus 12! Regarding the hope for our dead loved ones, Jehovah had his son Jesus Christ demonstrate that it is possible to be reunited with our dead loved ones. His friend Lazurus had been dead for four days, and with the help of his father Jehovah, he gave him the power to resurrect him-John 1111-44! Jesus helps us to appreciate that we can have confidence in the resurrection hope, being able to see our dead loved ones again. John 528, 29! Please feel free to visit our website, http://www.jw.org. Upon accessing the website, go to Publications, and then go to Books and Brochures, and search for the book What Does The Bible Really Teach, and please read chapter 7, Real Hope For Your Dead Loved Ones Who Have Died. If you have any questions, please email me at [emailprotected] May your family be comforted!
I am deeply sorry for you loss. May you find comfort at Rev. 213,4.
Our finite minds often focus on the fact that death is an end, when in actuality it is also a beginning. All who are born will one day die physically. But those who have God will continue to live on , in love never ending. What a wonderful gift everlasting life. John 316.
