My sympathies to the Ott family. I’m very sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in knowing that one day soon you can welcome back your dear loved ones by means of the resurrection hope that God has promised in His Word, the Bible. (John 5:28,29) What this can mean for you is the hope of seeing your dear loved ones again and knowing that “death will be no more.” (Revelation 21:4)

The death of a loved one is the most devastating experience a family can face. At times, the pain of the loss will seem unbearable. Please know that there are friends who care about you and your family during this difficult time and more importantly Psalm 34:18 tells us that “God is near to those that are broken at heart. We pray that Jehovah the God of all comfort is with your family during this difficult time of grief. Questions will come up about why do we suffer and die? Please go to http://www.jw.org to get satisfying answers to these and other questions about life. Our prayers are with you and your family.
