    I am very sorry that death has robbed your family of someone you loved. In the Bible there are many scriptures that provide comfort. Our heavenly father knows your distress. Jehovah our GOD is referred to as the “The Father of tender mercies and the GOD of all comfort.” Please read 2 Cor 1:3-4, Psalms 34:18 and Isaiah 65:2 for words of comfort at what must be one of the most difficult times of your lives.

    Hilda and family, with heartfelt sympathy. May the God of tender mercy (Psalms 83:18) grant the family peace and comfort during this time of sorrow (2Cor.1: 2-4).

    My condolences to the family. May JEHOVAH GOD (Psalms 83:18) the "God of all comfort" (2nd Corinthians 1:3 and 4), give you the comfort you need now and afterwards.

    Please accept my sincere condolences for the passing of your love one. I hope you will find comfort from the Scriptures, knowing what Jesus says about the hope for those asleep in death. Just imagine seeing your love ones again on the paradise earth. You can read about this hope at Isaiah 25:8.

    We're sorry to hear about your recent loss. Accept our sincere condolences. May you find strength from the words of Philippians 4:13 which says: "For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power." What a loving God who cares about each one of us. 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.
