DEAR MR. A.C. DUKE,
“While I am sadden to learn about your beloved wife Sylvia, it saddens King Jesus and his Heavenly Father Jehovah even more (Psalm 83:18). Almighty God Jehovah cares about you and has memories of Sylvia, whose life he longs to restore with perfect health, to enjoy “everlasting life ” on Paradise Earth as Isaiah 26:19 and Luke 23:43 reminds us. Soon his son King Jesus will rule over Paradise Earth eliminating pain, tears of sorrow, danger, sickness, suffering and death (Revelation 5:10, Revelation 21:3-4 ,John 3:16 and Isaiah 65:17-25). Mr. Duke ~ you are warmly invited to visit this free website of comfort, JW.ORG to see these guaranteed Bible promises and view a consoling video, “IS THERE HOPE FOR THE DEAD?”
With heavy hearts and prayers for the family.
Yancy, We are so sorry to hear of Ms Sylvia’s passing. May God comfort your entire family in these tough times. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
