Condolence: I send you my deepest condolences for you and for your family. I can’t even begin to imagine how painful this is for you all. May Jehovah God provide you the strength you need to cope with this difficult situation. The Bible provides hope that you will be reunited with your loved one at Acts 24:15, which states, "there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." I hope this message provides some comfort to friends and family, and I again offer my sincere condolences.
Condolence: Hello, I am truly sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the unbearable pain that you are feeling and going through. I just want to let you know that Jehovah God is there for you and your family members. Notice what says in 2 Corinthians 1:3,4 "Praised the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God." Jehovah also gives us a comforting future that is just around the corner. Once Job asked Jehovah: "If a man dies, can he live again?" and Jehovah said: "You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands."( Job 14:13-15) Jehovah promises that there will be resurrection, John 5:28,29 says: "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment." This is indeed a great hope for all of us. But there is one last important thing, Isaiah 55: 11 says: "So my word that goes out of my mouth will be. It will not return to me without results, But it will certainly accomplish whatever is my delight, And it will have sure success in what I send it to do."
Condolence: I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to your family for the loss of your loved one, Anthony. Death is truly an enemy that robs us of the joy of being with our loved ones. The Bible provides a wonderful hope for our dead loved ones at
Revelation 21:1-4. It states: “Neither will…pain be anymore.” What kind of pain does the Bible mean will be no more? All the mental, emotional, and physical pain that has resulted from sin and imperfection and made life miserable for countless millions will be no more. I sincerely hope that you will find this hope from the Bible comforting.
In the spring of 31 C.E., Jesus Christ boldly promised: “Just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to. Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.” (John 5:21, 28, 29) Yes, Jesus Christ promised that millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful, paradisaic conditions. (Luke 23:43; John 3:16; 17:3; compare Psalm 37:29 and Matthew 5:5.) Since Jesus made the promise, it is safe to assume that he is willing to fulfill it.
Condolence: I was so sorry to learn of Tony's passing. It was an honor to get to know him and your family a little bit when I was at MDA. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.
Condolence: I am so very sorry for your loss. My hope for you is that you can find comfort and peace in knowing that Tony will live on in the memories of all who were fortunate enough to have met him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. God speed Tony.
Condolence: My family thanks Tony for making me a better cook. His smile lit up the room. Even through all the pain he would smile. He was the most courageous man I knew. I’m blessed to have shared so much with him and his family. Until we meet again my friend. Danine
Condolence: My heart aches for you and your family. I am proud of you with such great courage and endurance to fight the battle together with Tony. And You won the battle beautifully. Tony got to enjoy his life embraced by love and friendship for an extended miracle years. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Condolence: I was very blessed to have known Tony. He was always so optomistic about life. His sweet love and concern for his pets was endearing. I miss him and I will never forget his kindness. God bless Tony and his dedicated family.
