To the Family. Our condolence. In God’s new world to come, we would not have to worry about sickness and death, for they will be no more. See Isaiah 33:24 and Revelation 21:4

I want to offer my condolences to the Alexander family. Hebrews 4:15 says, “ For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tested in all respects as we have, but without sin.” Yes, Jesus endured sufferings when on earth, even the pain of losing a dear friend (John 11: 33, 35, 38). It has been promised from our God of comfort that sickness, old age, pain, and death will be removed ((Isaiah 33:24; Job 33:24, 25; 1 Corinthians 15:26; Revelation 21:4,5). An additional promise given is that all our loved ones in the memorial tombs will be awaken from asleep in death to enjoy life as our loving Creator purposed (Isaiah 26:19; Psalms 145:16). Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.

My sincere condolences to the family. May our Jehovah GOD grant you strength and comfort during this most challenging time. Remember GOD is a GOD of all comfort. “GOD is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress.” Psalm 46:2. Also know we have the real hope of being reunited with our love ones. John 5:28, 29
