To the Family of Sister Jones,Jehovah is the god of the living, she is in his memory now waiting to be awakened very soon, she will sleep now for a little while. I pray for you to receive the comfort that only he can give you until his time to wake her up.
My sincere condolences to the family during this time of loss. Even Jesus wept at the loss of a loved one. Please draw comfort from the scriptural promises at Rev 21:3, 4 and know that God fulfils all his promises. Isa 55:11
Tanya, Nicole,family, I'm so sorry! I cannot fathom the pain you are feeling right now. Let the love and support of family and friends help you. And on the days your heart feels like it's about to break into a million pieces, know that God is near to the brokenhearted [Psalms 34:18] and will carry you, like a loving Father, through your grief.
My sister and friend. May you rest until Christ Jesus calls you from the grave to be back with your family. To the children and grand children, I am so sorry. May Jehovah give you his spirit to comfort you in your grief.
To family and friends my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Losing a loved one in death is very painful. May the God of comfort and tender mercies sustain you during this most difficult time. May you find comfort in the hope of resurrection found in the Scriptures at John 5:28,29,there is the promise that our loved have the hope of living again.
I want to offer my condolences to the Jones family and friends. Our Heavenly Father knows the pain one feels from the loss of a love one. Even Jesus wept when Lazarus died (John 11:35). Our Creator did not purpose his human family to die but to live and enjoy life forever. This is still his purpose (Psalms 37:29). He calls death an enemy that will be removed forever along with all pain and suffering __ Revelation 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” He has appointed Jesus to awaken all those in the memorial tombs from asleep in death-__ John 5:28, 29 "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." He will then “satisfy the desire of every living thing” (Psalms 145:16). Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.
