Leave Your Tribute
To the Broekema Family, I am so sorry for the loss of Beverly. Dealing with death can be one of the hardest things that we can deal with in life. I know Words can only do so much in a time like this, but please take comfort from gods word at Isaiah 26:19- " Your dead will live. My corpses will rise up. Awake and shout joyfully you residents in the dust! The earth will let those powerless in death come to life!" Yes, The bible promises a resurrection right here to earth! (John 5:28,29) What a wonderful time it will be to see Beverly again! Please know that I am thinking of you and your family at this difficult time! Sincerely, Caleb Aniol Jw.org
