Time comes and goes. May we cherish each and every second, minute of time. Jehovah God, the God of all Comfort, has revealed to us a hope. Yes, a hope for all of mankind to be redeemed and have a chance to live again, based on Jesus Christ's ransom sacrifice. The hope is shared in his word the Bible at Revelation 21:3,4, John 5:28, 29, etc. Please feel free to go to www.jw.org for more timely information.

Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Many have found true comfort in the pages of God's word the Bible (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4). In God's word we find the promise that we can be reunited with our loved ones (John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15). The Bible tells us where this happy reunion will take place (Psalm 37: 11, 29; Matthew 5:5). We are told why we die (Genesis 3:17-19; Romans 5:12), and that Jehovah, the God of the Bible, will end death forever (Isaiah 25:8; Revelation 21:3,4).  For more information please visit the website jw.org.
