  1. So sorry to hear of your loss. May you find strength in the love and support of family and friends…and may you find comfort in God’s promises related to our near future: ‘all tears, mourning, pain and even death will be no more’ Rev.21:4…, ‘Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out’ John 5:28,29
    Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

  7. Judy and family: Jesus said you will be with me in Paradise. Why didn’t He say in heaven? To hear the answer to this question, every Kingdom Hall will have a special talk on Wednesday March 23, 2016 answering that question! The talk is at 7:30. All seats are free, no charge nor collections are taken. Please come!

  8. I’m so sorry for the loss of your loved one. When I think of losing a loved one like you have, it brings to mind the promise that the Bible holds out in Revelation  21:3,4  where it says our Grand Creator Jehovah God will wipe away sickness and death forever and reunited us with our loved one on a clean earth in the near future (John 5:28,29; Psalm 83:18). Although, this sounds to good to be true, we can have confidence in GOD’S WORD the Bible that soon this will be a reality for many families like yours. Knowing that there is a future for our love ones we have lost in death can be so comforting.( John 17:3) I truly hope these scriptures bring you added comfort and you endure this difficult time.
