I am saddened for your loss. As we well know there is always sadness when death claims our loved one. However, the wonderful hope of a resurrection, (Acts 24:15) is of so much comfort to us. God's spirit helps us to cling to Him especially in our time of distress and He gives us peace as we maintain our faith, which helps us to meditate on the wonderful promised in His Word, everlasting life in a paradise earth. For this reason so we are not completely overwhelmed by sad thoughts of our dead loved one.

We entertain that hope so vividly, that we see ourselves (in our minds eye) already in the new world.

Your loved one is now in the safest place one can be now, in God's memory, awaiting his resurrection to the new world.

Our prayer now, is that your family find the solace that comes from reading the Scriptures and calling on Jehovah, "the God of all comfort"(2 Corinthians 1:3, 4, and receive the love and encouragement now and in the days ahead.

Much Brotherly Love
