Condolences

  1. I read in the news of the death of your loved one and was moved to express my sincere condolences. Sounds like a very special person. What comforted me when my mother died was the resurrection hope. Jesus open the way for us to live in Paradise where sickness, old age and death will not exist. The Bible calls it the “real life”.
    (Isaiah 25:8, 9) He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken [it]. 9 And in that day one will certainly say: “Look! This is our God. We have hoped in him, and he will save us. This is Jehovah. We have hoped in him. Let us be joyful and rejoice in the salvation by him.”
