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.
To my beloved Grandmother Bell, you will be forever missed. You were always there for me when I needed you, until we see again, I love you so much! You are now my guardian angel! 🙏🏽😇❤️
I’m very sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort give you the strength to cope with the loss and pain. John 5:28,29 assures us that there will be a resurrection of our dead loved ones. Not only will he resurrect them, but he will put them on the beautiful paradise earth that he meant for us to live on. May that promise give you hope and comfort.
