Dear Myers Family,
Please accept my condolences for your loss. Death is not easy to accept, much less to cope with. It’s comforting to know that Our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah understands your pain. He promises us that “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither morning nor outcry nor pain any more..” (Revelation 21:4) He promises to return our loved ones who have passed. (Acts 24:15) To learn more about God and his loving purpose for us please visit JW.org.

To all the Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Your Mother was a wonderful woman. She treated my Mother Kazuko with respect and gave her friendship; which my Mother cherished. I know how all of you are feeling since I lost my Mom two years ago. I pray they are both together again and enjoying their friendship.
Sincerely,
Patty H
