To the family,When a loved one dies, no words, however reasonable, can take away the pain and the void in your hearts. May you draw comfort from "the Father of tender mercies, the God of all comfort."(2 Corinthians 1:3,4) He says:"He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, will certainly wipe the tears from all faces.(Isaiah 25:8; Psalms 83:18)He also says:"There will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust who will wake up!"(Daniel 12:2)He says:"Your dead ones will live!(Isaiah 26:19)So, although you are hurting He says:"Do not marvel at this (death)because the hour is coming in which all those sleeping in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out!(John 5:28;John 11:43)You can trust these sure promises. "For no matter how many the promises of God are, they have become Yes by means of (the death of)Jehovah's Son, Christ Jesus."-2 Corinthians 1:20; JOhn 10:36.
