Dear Family, I wish to express my sincere condolences over the loss of your love one, Mrs. Bond. At times like these we are deeply saddened. Death is unnatural touching all our lives. I’ve lost both my parents and my brother last June. Although we miss them, we found great comfort in knowing that it wasn’t God’s purpose for people to die in the beginning. It was to live forever in paradise on earth. Even now he wants us to obey him and live forever. John 6:40 says: “This is the will of my father that everyone that beholds the son and exercises faith in him should have everlasting life and I will resurrect him at the last day.” And Psalm 37:29 says: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth and will reside forever upon it.” So God sent his son Jesus to die so that all those expressing faith in him may have eternal life. So we now have the wonderful hope of the resurrection. Acts 24:15 says: “…there is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous.” So our love ones will return to a beautiful paradise earth where suffering, crime, sickness, and death will no longer be. So as of now our love ones are resting peacefully awaiting the resurrection.I’m so sorry about your loss. I’m sure everyone that knew and loved Mrs. Bond will miss her dearly. So may Jehovah, the God of all comfort give your family the strength to endure.With my Deepest Sympathy, Mrs. Servelia Smith
