To the family please accept my condolences for your loss. P!ease know that God never meant for us to go through the pain of losing a loved one in death. To give us comfort and hope He gave us many promises. Such as Isaiah 25:8 which promises that death will be gone forever, and our tears will be wiped away. Isaiah 26:19 promises that our loved ones who have passed away will rise and live! What a wonderful time that will be! In time if you would like to know more about God's promises please visit jw.org. Again my condolences.
