Condolences

Condolence From: Mrs. Edwards
Condolence: I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your dear loved one, I hope that your family have been able to find comfort in the God of all comfort Jehovah. I too have felt the pain of a loved one falling asleep in death, and although it is never easy to say goodbye no matter how much time we may have had with those we love, I was able to find much hope in Gods word the bible and I'm sure you can too. John 5:28 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... Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor out cry nor pain be anymore, The former things have passed away... I invite your family to please go to jw.org where you can find out more about Gods purpose for mankind, and how you can see your loved one again in a paradise right here on earth, just like the one Adam and Eve lost due to their disobedience and selfishness.

Condolence From: Marie
Condolence: My heart goes out with deepest sympathy. God knows your deep heartache and the many tears you shed and he wants to sustain you. In the Bible at 2 Corinthians 4:7 it says that God can give us, "... power beyond what is normal," to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that we no longer cry or that we forget, but it means we recover. We can recover because of our hope. When Jesus was on earth he saw the grief that his friends Martha and Mary experienced at the death of their brother, Lazarus, the Bible says, “Jesus cried,” (John 11:35). Afterwards, he resurrected Lazarus. Everyone was so joyful at having Lazarus back with them. Jesus Christ talked about our hope in John 5:28, "... all those in the memorial tomb will hear his voice and come out." Jesus was referring to the resurrection. This is our amazing hope that anchors us. Just like an anchor stabilizes a ship, our hope stabilizes us, keeps us from drowning in overwhelming sadness so we can go from one day to the next. It helps us recover and have the power to go on. Not only does God provide the Bible to comfort, he will also comfort you by moving people who care about you to give you help and words of encouragement that you need to hear. When he brings the reality of his promised resurrection of Rosalie, all your tears of pain will be replaced with tears of joy.
