I would like to take this opportunity to extend Words of Comfort to this Awesome Family. We celebrate the life of a True Worshipper who sung Songs of Inspiration to soothes the very soul of Man. Her gentle Spirit and Great smile will be sorely missed. However the God of all Comfort and Strength be with you all during this Time of Bereavement.

Apostle, I'm in shock trying to process the news about the loss of your wife. You are like a brother to me, and your dear wife...like a Sister. I don't even know the words to say that would be adequate at this moment, I do know that you are standing on God's word. My family takes comfort in knowing that your bride was a daughter of Zion and she's not just in a "better place"she's in the BEST place!
Since 1999 I've marveled as you and Donna led so many people and encouraged them to be strong in the Lord...and now it's our turn to be there for you and your family. Love you man!

My deepest condolences to the Strayhorn and Crouell family and friends. The death of a love one is never easy, it’s one of the most trying time you will endure. Almighty God Jehovah by means of His Son Jesus Christ offer hope and comfort with the Bible, scriptures like John 17:3; john5:28,29 Revelation 21:3-5 And Acts 24:15 and my favorite John11:23-27 where Jesus resurrected Lazarus the brother of Martha and Mary. The resurrection is a sure hope from Almighty God Jehovah who cannot lie. All his promises will come true. May these scriptures comfort and strengthen you. Again my condolences.~ Katie Lester Latta, SC

We're so sorry to hear you are suffering the loss of your dear loved one. May you find strength and some comfort in the words found in Psalms 9:9, which reads:
“Jehovah will become a secure refuge for the oppressed, A secure refuge in times of distress.” Our loving God cares about us and is ready to bring us comfort if we allow him (1John 5:14). He also has made the provision of a resurrection RIGHT HERE ON EARTH when it is restored into a beautiful paradise (Acts 24:15; Isaiah 55:11). Can you see yourself welcoming back to life your dear loved one? Find out more about this resurrection online at JW.ORG
