I would like to express my sympathy in the loss of your dear family member. The death of a loved one is one of the most painful events that can happen. Our loving Heavenly Father understands how you feel because death was not a part of his original purpose for mankind (Genesis 1:28). However, he provides comfort to help soothe the feelings of sadness and grief. Psalm 147:3 says; “He (God) heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds.” The wonderful promise for the future at Revelation 21:4 is very comforting. It says; “He (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” For more comfort please visit our website: jw.org and view the faith strengthening video; Is There Hope for the Dead? Click publications then videos.
Sorry for your loss. She will greatly be missed in our community. May GOD comfort you in this trying time. Prayers for you all.
Greg so sorry about the loss of your Mother. Prayers for you all.

Dear Sam and Greg I was sorry to hear about your mom. She was a good Christian lady. I was so glad I got to see her before I moved. I called her some time back after I had moved and I could tell she was not doing very well. I still have good memories of her and Samuel coming to our house and Dollie would play a kids organ that I had and Samuel and Dollie would sing and sometimes we would all sing. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Sam, I’m sorry to hear about your mom. Prayers for your family.
