Dear Jannereth family, please except my deepest condolences for the loss of your dear loved one Deborah. May Jehovah, the God of all comfort, (2Corintians 1:3,4) comfort you in your time of need. His word assures us at Isaiah 33:24 that one day there will be no more sickness and at Isaiah 25:8 and Revelation 21:4, that one day death will be no more. At John 5:28,29, Jesus himself said that there will be a resurrection of those loss in death. And Psalms 37:29 guarantees that they will live again on a cleansed earth. Please read the cited scriptures so as to be encouraged and if you would like to learn more, please visit jw.org. My prayers are with you.
