Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceTo the Family: My condolences to all of you. Although you are experiencing grief now, look ahead with confidence to the fulfillment of the promises found at Daniel 12:2; John 6:39, 40 and Revelation 21:3-5, “... and death will be no more...”. All of God’s promises will come true.
My sincere condolences to the Gary family and friends. 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.
I want to offer my condolences to the Gary family and friends. It is a painful thing to lose someone very precious, yet no one else can really know all that you feel except our Heavenly Father. He knows and feels your pain. Allow him to give the comfort you need at this time through prayer as he invites us to do at Philippians 4:6, 7 “…in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God;7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” He has promised that under his Kingdom rule he will remove sickness, old age, and death from his human family (Isaiah 33:24; Job 33:24, 25; 1 Corinthians 15:26).
Please accept my condolences, a loved one loss can cause our hearts to grieve and to yearn for tomorrow because Jehovah God our Father in the Heaven promise that soon we will see our loved ones again.
