Condolence: Family and friends of Patricia Koehler, I am truly sorry about your loss. It's never easy when you lose a loved one. Something that helped my family and I cope during this difficult time was meditating on God's promise of a resurrection found at Acts 24:15 where it says: "And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and unrighteous." God's word also says that he "will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Rev. 21:4) It brings much comfort knowing that God will eliminate all things that cause us suffering. I do pray that these promises bring you and your family and friends comfort knowing that you can see your loved one once again. If you'd like further information, feel free to visit JW.org. Sincerely, Jeanie M.

Condolence: My condolences to the family for your loss. May "the God of all comfort" give peace to each of you as we await the day when Jesus calls for those in the memorial tombs to come out. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4; John 5:28,29)
