My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the encouraging verse recorded at Isaiah 25:8 can bring comfort, which says вЂњHe will swallow up death forever and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.вЂќ That scripture gives us comfort in knowing that there is a hope for the ones that we have lost in death.

Dear Blankenship family. I am so sorry to have read of the death of Donald. Please accept my sincere condolences. I would like to share something that I have personally found to be comforting. It is found in the Bible at John 5:28, 29 and Revelation 21:4. These verses tell us that soon God is going to bring about a resurrection of our dear loved ones as well as do away with all causes we have for suffering, including sickness and death. Knowing this has always comforted me and it is my hope that these thoughts will comfort your family also. Additional comforting scriptures can be found at www.jw.org search:comfort

We are so sorry for your loss. God's promise to you is that you will one day be together again. Love and prayers.

So very sorry for your loss, but my prayer for you is that the peace which surpasses all understanding will be yours during this time. That peace can be yours only through Christ.

My deepest sympathy to the families and friends for your loss, David,
The Bible gives a sure hope that very soon we will have the opportunity to see pure dead loved one again by means of an earthly resurrection. Acts 24:15; Revelation 20:13.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
