“Please allow me to express my sincere sympathy as your family mourns. I pray Jehovah, the Father of tender mercies will help you to cope with your grief by means of comfort from His Holy Word. May you place your hope in the coming end to tears of loss, as well as the resurrection of those now sleeping in death. These promises have sustained me in times of loss, I pray they will help you as well.” 1 Thessalonians 4:14, Revelation 21:4, John 5:28,29,
