Condolence: I am saddened to learn of Emma Lou's death. Please find comfort in reading Psalm 37:29 and what it promises for her future: "The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it." As a family, approach God in prayer that your faith is strengthen knowing that God offers such a bright future for Emma Lou!

Condolence: My sincere condolences to Emma's family. I just wanted to share with you the Bible's promise of the resurrection .

Jesus said at John 11:25, 'I am the resurrection and the life'. Jehovah has granted his son Jesus Christ the power not only to resurrect the dead but also to imy6part eternal life.

At Revalation 1:18, Jesus calls himself “the living one,” who has “the keys of death and of the Grave.” Jesus is our hope for the living and the dead. He promised to open up the tombs and give the dead life, either in the heavens as his 'Corulers' or 'Everlasting Life' on earth ruled by his heavenly government.—Joh 5:28, 29; 2Pe 3:13.

So when Emma return to life, on this earth would you like to welcome her back. This promise is a gift from Jehovah for all to read in your copy of the Bible at John 3:16, John 17:3, Romans 6:23 and Revelation 21:4.

Condolence: To the family:

To the living, I am gone
To the sorrowful, I will never return
To the angry, I was cheated
But to the happy, I am at peace
And to the faithful, I have never left
I cannot speak, but I can listen
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard
So as you stand upon the shore
Gazing at the beautiful sea, remember me
As you look in awe at a mighty forest
And in its grand majesty, remember me
Remember me in your hearts,
In your thoughts, and the memories of the
Times we loved, the times we cried,
the battle we fought and the times we laughed
For if you always think of me,
I will never have gone.

Be encouraged.
