Dear Lach Family, please except my deepest condolences for the loss of your loved one John. May Jehovah, the God of all comfort, (2Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort you in this time of sorrow. May you find comfort in His word that gives us hope that one day there will be no more sickness (Isaiah 33:24) and that there will be no more pain and death. (Revelations 21:3,4) We will also be able to see our loved ones that are asleep in death again by means of the resurrection that Jesus spoke about at John 5:28,29, and all those in Jehovah's memory will live forever in peace, on earth. (Psalms 37:29) If you would like to learn more about the wonderful hope and blessings found in God's word the bible, please visit jw.or and may the peace of God that excels all thoughts, guard your very souls
