Condolences to the Family

February 28, 2017

Although never having met Tina, I wanted to express my deepest sympathy and condolences to her family. In looking at her picture, I am sure that her smile brought much happiness to those who knew her. I share her love for cooking and for animals. As her family and friends grieve, I pray that “the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7) Having lost my father, I personally found encouragement in a publication called “When Someone You Love Dies” that shares feelings of others who have dealt with the loss of a loved one. You can view this at JW.ORG by searching that title under publications. There are other encouraging articles that have scriptural refrences that assure us we will see our loved ones again. Some of these are: “Can The Dead Really Live Again” and “Where Do We Go When We Die.” I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers that you may find ongoing comfort and strength in dealing with your loss. With my sincere and heartfelt sympathy. Julie Hess
