Dear family of Cletus Van Loo: Please accept my sincere condolences and deepest sympathy on the loss of you’re dear loved one. Death is such a tragedy for all of us, and when it touches us personally, it’s sometimes difficult to find the comfort that we search for. Our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah, who is the God of all comfort feels empathy for those who have lost a loved one in death and promises to eliminate death forever, (Read Isaiah 25:8) and we can see our dear loved ones again in the resurrection. Jesus gave this promise at John 5:28,29 where he explains: “…all those in the memorial tombs…will come out…” As you read the above texts in you’re Bible, may they give you hope and comfort, during this most difficult time. Again, deepest sympathy. David Cowles
