My deepest sympathy for your loss. God hates death; he views it as an enemy. 1 Cor. 15:26 tells us "And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing." He has a longing to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again. Job 14: 14, 15 If a man dies, can he live again? To learn more visit jw.org

To the Craven family, please accept my condolences for this loss to your family. Turn to God in prayer and draw close to him so that he can provide the comfort and help that you need. - Psalms 46:1

I am so sorry for your loss. I would like to give you a message of hope. God never intended for humans to get sick and die. Jehovah God promises that very soon death and pain will be no more. (Rev.21:3,4)
Jesus also promised that he will resurrect our dear loved ones to a better world with no more suffering. (John5:28,29)I hope this brings you comfort .

To my friend shiela may you RIP always. Love you!

My deepest sympathies for the loss of your dear Sheila,
She sounds like a wonderful person I pray you find comfort in knowing death was never part of Jehovah’s original plan and that soon than plan will be fulfilled when he “swallows up death “ as he tells us in Is 25:8.

I miss you Mom. I keep recalling our conversation at the hospital after your heart surgery. You were so thankful to have lived through that heart attack and we were laughing because all you wanted was sherbet ice cream and some real clothes on. You mentioned signing yourself out if they couldn’t help you breathe better. You promised you wouldn’t smoke anymore. We made plans for a Mother’s Day 4- generations photo. Sadly we won’t have that chance. We laughed at how young we all are and you called me “grandma” jokingly as I hugged you. I told you I’d be back everyday.. I missed one day and you started to decline. I was sickened when I walked in the following day to see you on life support. Your lungs wouldn’t work on their own, and your heart wasn’t strong enough to keep you here with us much longer. I remember every struggling breath you took for hours days upon days we watched you leave us slowly and painfully. I’m still in denial after all the strength you showed this year and all the battles you overcame throughout your entire life that a hospital stay for pneumonia ended your young life. You really just started actually living. What’s bittersweet to me is that we had a roller coaster year and you came out on top. You proved to yourself you were capable of great things Momma and sadly it came just in time for you to say good bye. I’ll be mad for a while, I’ll be sad longer than that. I’ll hear your ridiculous laugh and hear you say “tell the kids I love them”. I’ll be reminded of your sweet tooth cravings, I’ll miss your hugs and your horrible speak/text messages that now I read over and over as if written by a novelist. I hope you heard me that night you passed, the things I told you- the things I promised. I hope you heard me tell you I hated to see you suffer, and I will take care or my family and myself and I will always remember you as a woman of strength and love for others. I hope you heard me say I’m proud of you and thank you for giving me life and that I love you. Rest easy Momma-dukes. Love always, Kim xoxo
