I would like to offer my deepest condolences to your family. In times like these the Bible have proven to be of great comfort. The Bible book of John chapter 5 verses 28 and 29 holds out the hope of a resurrection for our loved ones who have past; and Joshua chapter 21 verse 45 let’s us know that Jehovah will fulfill his promises. I hope that these Bible verses will bring your family some comfort. For further comfort please visit jw.org
