Ms. Donna was a wonderful and caring person. She always treated me like a daughter, she will be missed. Love you mom!
I would like to offer my condolences for your loss. I hope you will find comfort in knowing that Jehovah, the God of all comfort, will soon eliminate all grief and provide permanent consolation when “all those in the memorial tombs will hear [Christ’s] voice and come out”! (John 5:28, 29) God promises that “he will do away with death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.” (Isa. 25:8) Then, instead of having to “weep with those who weep,” all earth’s inhabitants will “rejoice with those who rejoice.”—Rom. 12:15.
I give my sincere condolences to the families and friends. The best description of Jehovah God is that he is love. It talks of this at 2 Corinthians 13:11 where it says, "Finally, brothers, continue to rejoice, to be readjusted, to be comforted, to think in agreement, to live peaceably, and the God of love and of peace will be with you." This love is the reason why we can be confident that Jehovah will remember those in the memorial tombs in the near future and we will be reunited with our loved ones. Please take comfort in that knowledge.
