To the family and friends, I would like to express my deepest condolences and love through some word of encouragement. It is found at the scripture in Revelation 21:3,4 which mentions that “God will wipe out every tear from our eyes and death will be no more…”. We can be sure, that God is eager to fulfill this promise for us. To learn more, visit JW.ORG.

So sorry for your loss. Throw all your anxiety on God and he will strengthen you because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6,7

Please accept my sincere condolences. God knows the pain that comes when we lose a loved one. That is why God describes death as an enemy that he yearns to do away with (1 Corinthians 15:26). Our dear loved ones who are resting in death will soon be awakened and reunited with us (Isaiah 26:19). Hold on firmly to this beautiful hope, and may the wonderful memories fill your mind and heart.

So very sorry to learn of Jim’s passing. I visited him in the hospital one week before his passing which I just learned of today. I worked with Mildred for 14 years and my heart goes out to your family.
