I know you are asleep daddy, and it’s just a little while longer until we see each other again. I love you and I miss you
So sorry for your loss. Please accept our deepest condolences. We are keeping your family in our prayers.
We never knew your father, but knowing you helps us to know he must have been a very special person. Even the knowledge of seeing our loved ones again, doesn’t take away the pain of losing them. Just remember that it will lessen in intensity over time. We love you.
Sorry for your loss, it is never a good feeling to lose a person in death, even more so, one of our parents. But it is times like this, when you make self examination and reflect on how fragile life is, [James said..”For you are a mist appearing for a little while and then disappearing”] ….that you reflect on what are your beliefs?…… How close am I to Jehovah? ….When is it that “no resident will say I am sick?” ..How can I see my dead loved one again? …[Rev.21:4-“And HE will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry, nor pain be anymore…]
We just wanted to let you know you and the family our on our thoughts.The pain, grief, and the feeling of losing a loved one can seem difficult.But at such times, the scriptures can give us comfort. knowing that Jehovah feels abut the resurrection is comforting when he says “You will call and myself shall answer you for the work of your hands you will have a yearning”Job 14:15. Thats heartwarming to know that Jehovah yearns to bring those loved ones back in the paradise.
