The Massman Family,
I am sorry to read of your loss. A loved one lost can grieve the heart, and make us yearn for tomorrow, when Jehovah will keep his promise he made of no pain, no death and no sorrow. This promise is found at Revelation 21:4. Can you imagine a time when no one will die? It will be a wonderful time! All the sorrow and pain when we loose a loved one will be gone. I hope this thought helps you cope and to know that there is a hope for the future. Remember to look to Jehovah God and he will help you cope.
