I would like to extend my sincere sympathy to the family in this time of loss. I’d like to share my hope with you from God’s Word the Bible. In it Jehovah God shows us that death is an enemy and that He greatly desires to bring our loved ones back to life in the resurrection.(1 Corinthians 15:26, John 5:28,29) Soon he will take away all causes for sadness and mourning- we will look around and see that these things are no longer here. (Revelation 21:4; Psalm 37:9,10, 29) Until that time comes, Jehovah God assures us at Psalm 34:18 that he "is close to the brokenhearted" and "He saves those who are crushed in spirit." So he strongly desires to give you the strength you need to cope during this most difficult time. (Philippians 4:13)
