Add A Condolence

My deepest regret to the Winder family and friends for the loss of your love one. The Bible tells us that many millions of people who have passed will return to live. Even some who did not know God and wo practiced bad things will be resurrected according to Luke 23:43 and Acts 24:15. Indeed all of our love ones has a hope for that resurrection. God made hope for the dead possible by sending his Son to die for us. So this resurrection tell us the kind of God, Jehovah is. Indeed he is a loving God.

Please go to jw.org and your copy of the Bible and learn more about this resurrection and the hope the Bible holds out for all of us.

Mamie Hicks

My sincere condolences to the family at this time of loss. Even Jesus wept at the loss of a loved loved one. Please draw comfort from the scriptural promises at Acts 24:15 and Rev 21:3, 4 knowing that God cannot lie (Isaiah 46:10, 11).

Moore

To the Family: Very sorry for your loss. It is a time like this that we can turn to the comforting words found in the Holy Bible, at Daniel 12:2, “ And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake...” how strengthening that promise is, our love ones can live again! That promise is also confirmed at Acts 24:15, “ ... there shall be a resurrection of the dead...”

W. J.

So sorry for your loss. May God comfort the family and wipe all tears from your eyes during this time of sorrow. Revelation 21:3,4

D C

To family and friends my deepest sympathies to you for the loss of your love one. Losing a loved in death is very painful. May you find comfort in the Scriptures at John 5:28,29 and Isaiah 26:19. May the God of all comfort and tender mercies sustain you at this difficult time. 2 Corinthians 1:3,4

E Blair

My condolences to the Winder family and friends. It is a painful thing to lose a precious love one in death, regardless of how long they have lived. It pains our loving Heavenly Father, too. He did not purpose his human family to grow old and die but purpose us to live and enjoy life in perfect health. It is still his purpose (Psalms 37:11, 29). He calls death an enemy that will be removed forever__1 Corinthians 15:26 “The last enemy, death, will be brought to nothing”; Isaiah 25:8. He promised to awaken our love ones in the memorial tombs from asleep in death__ Hosea 13:14 “From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; from death I will recover them.” He promised to reverse the aging process__ Job 33:24,25 “Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.” What a delight it will be to see them again to enjoy life as our Creator purposed (Psalms 145:16)! Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.
