Dear Gina and Family, My condolences to you and all your family members. Know that I have you all in my prayers n thoughts. May our Heavenly Father above bless you all with his comfort and unconditional love during this difficult time. God Bless you all.
Sincere condolences for the tragic loss of your Rudy. I wish to share comfort from the Bible with grieving family members. The Bible teaches that one day in the near future our Creator, Jehovah God, by means of the ransom sacrifice of his son, Jesus,will reunite us with our dead loved ones by means of a resurrection right here on earth in paradise conditions that will be filled with peace, happiness, and perfect health for everyone. John 5:28,29; “Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life,” Psalm 37:29 states : ” The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it. Revelation 21:3,4 promises: “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” As you read the above texts from your Bible, may the wonderful hope they give us, along with loving memories bring you a measure of comfort during this most difficult time. There is much Bible-based comfort to be found on jw.org Sincerely dianne mullins
