My sincere condolences to the Winstead family for your loss. Even though death creates a whole of morning and sorrow in our life, we can find comfort in meditating on Jehovah promises found in his word the Bible. He will do away with death and tears of sorrow, and his words are faithful and true, because he doesn’t lie-Rev. 213-5, Titus 12! Can we see our dead loved ones again Jesus assures us that we will be able to unite with our dead loved ones by means of a resurrection-John 528, 29. May you be comforted!
