I am so sorry for your loss. Although, I do not know your family personally, I would like to share an encouraging thought from the Bible. You have my deepest sympathy. May you find comfort in knowing that Jehovah God will soon remove all sickness and death. (Isaiah 33:24 fand Isaiah 25:8) Jehovah hates death; he views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) He yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again. (Job 14:14,15).To find out more about these wonderful promises Jehovah has for the future, please visit http://www.jw.org.
