My sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Richard. It can be very difficult and distressing to cope with the loss of a loved one. It has helped myself and others knowing that our dear loved ones now rest in the loving memory of our Grand Creator, Jehovah.( Psalms 83:18-God’s name). May you find comfort in knowing that Jehovah hates death.(1 Cor. 15:26). And promises to eliminate death forever and bring ones sleeping in death back to life on a cleansed earth. ( John : 17:3; Isaiah 25:7,8; Acts 24:15; Rev. 21:4,5; Psalms 37:10,11,29). I hope these few scriptures along with your own good and loving memories of Richard help to bring comfort, peace and a hope. JW.ORG
