    Sissy and Family, we are here again for another sad occasion some four months later. Lord Jesus, there are no words except we love you and will be there for you. We loved Pops,God decided it was time to bring him to his heavenly home. What we loved about Pops is that he kept it real. He was who he was, and that was the most genuine and true to the core individual. He was most honorable in not sugar coating anything. He lived and took care of his family. By rights, he was the patriarch in his family. Shed your tears; but, hold onto the memories. They will sustain you when you are missing him so. Never forget that God is near. We love you and the entire family.

    We're so sorry to hear you are mourning the recent loss of your loved one. May you find strength and comfort from the words of Psalms 46:1 which reads: "God is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress." Our loving God is there for us if we ask for his help (1 John 5:14). He didn't intend for us to grow old and die. He thus has made the SURE promise of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored to a beautiful paradise (Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55;11). Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your loved ones? What a joy it will bring all of us. You can go online to JW.ORG and find out more about this resurrection.

    Sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest condolences. When I think of losing a loved one as you have, it brings to mind the promise that the Bible holds out at Revelation 21:3,4 where it says that the Grand Creator Jehovah God will wipe away sickness and death forever and reunite us with our loved ones on a clean earth in the near future.(John 5:28,29; Psalms 83:18) jw.org Website for more encouragement.
