Dear Herring family,
I'd like to express my deep sorrow for your loss at this difficult time and share what helped me when this enemy death took my entire family. I found much comfort and hope from what Jehovah Gods word the Bible says at John5:28,29 there Jesus states we'll see our love ones again because he's bringing them back in the resurrection and at Isaiah25:8 we're told this enemy death will be swallowed up forever. These scriptures along with the website jw.org(search:comfort) help me get through each day and I'm truly hoping you'll be helped in some way also for this is my purpose in sharing this with you at this difficult time and please know I do share your grief even though we don't know each other. Sincerely, GMosley
