Sorry to read about the death of your loved one. Death is such a terrible and cruel enemy of mankind. I know that at this very painful time there is very little I could say in order to comfort you. However, when you have a moment please reflect on this wonderful promise here at John 5:28,29. It says in part, " All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" What a wonderful promise! For more information please visit jw.org.
