To the Family and Friends of Myron G. Oakland Losing a loved one can be devastating. However, please take comfort in knowing that death isn’t the end. In fact, Jesus himself demonstrated that by what he did when he learned of his dear friend Lazarus' death when he was on earth. The account recorded at John chapter 11 verses 11-14, 39, 43, and 44 shows that to those who were with him when he got the bad news, Jesus said: "Lazarus has falling asleep and I am going to awaken him". However when he realized that his disciples didn’t understand what he meant, he simply told them that Lazarus has died. Did you notice that Jesus compared death to sleep? He did indeed to prove that just as one can be awaken from sleep those who have died will come also come back to life at the resurrection in the last day. (John 11:25) To prove it, the account in John 11 also tells us that Jesus asked Lazarus' sisters to take him to the grave where Lazarus was already buried for four days. When he got there, he called Lazarus, and asked him to come out of the grave and Lazarus did as if he was never dead. Amazing isn't it? Well, what Jesus did then is a preview of what he'll soon do for those who have died when he rules or governs the entire earth as King of God’s heavenly Kingdom/Government. (Daniel 7: 13 and 14); (Daniel 2:44) When that times comes, the following Scriptures also confirm that Jesus will eliminate all the problems we deal with today such as SICKNESS, OLD AGE, WAR, VIOLENCE, PAIN, DEATH. Yes, EVEN OUR DEAD LOVED ONES WILL BE RESURRECTED with the opportunity to live forever right here on earth, which will become a paradise. (Isaiah 33:24); (Job 33:25); (Psalms 46: 9 and 10); (Isaiah 2: 4); (Psalms 37: 9-11 and 29); (Revelation 21: 3 and 4); (John 5: 28 and 29). To learn how you can be counted among those who will reunite with their resurrected loved ones to enjoy the countless of blessings God’s Kingdom will bring on earth to make it a paradise in the near future, please contact the local congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses for a FREE Bible study. As you endeavor to take steps to gain this accurate knowledge from the Bible, may you be comforted by the cited Scriptures, which give us hope for a wonderful future along side our resurrected loved ones in God’s upcoming new and righteous world!(Matthew 19:28-30); (2 Peter 3:13, 14)

Myron was my supervisor at T&E and was a great boss but was a good friend. 12 yrs ago I changed jobs but Myron and I still kept in touch with Christmas cards and conversations every few months. I have him as a reference on my resume. Be at peace and I will miss you "MO" My thoughts are with you Sean and Sherrie.

I miss you daddy!
