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.

I miss you so much Momma! I’m devastated, but there is also a sense of peace there knowing you are pain free! I couldn’t have asked for a better Momma! She only knew how to love with her whole heart! It’s going to be tough here without you, but I will see you again one day! It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later!

To the family of Mrs. McKinnon. I pray that God give you all the comfort you need to get through. 2Corinthians 1;3,4
Erica M says
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.
Kathy McKinnon Wilson says
So sad to just find out about Phyllis’ passing. She and I enjoyed kidding about our double connection in family history — both connected by Hobby and McKinnon family. She was a joy and I know she is truly missed by her family and friends. Rejoicing in the fact that we will see each other again in heaven.
