My sincere condolences to the family and many many friends, so sorry for your loss. Please try to find a measure of comfort in knowing that Jehovah God will soon resurrect our dear loved ones (John 5:28-29). Oh how we long for the time when pain, suffering and death will be no more, these former things will have passed away (Revelation 21:3-5).
There’s no safer place to be, than in Jehovah’s memory. “Your dead will live”….wake up and cry out joyfully you residents of the dust…..The earth will let those powerless in death come out. Isaiah 26:19
Im sorry for your loss, have been through the same experince i found this isn’t always easy to get through alone. But having good friends and family members I found easier to cope with my grief. I found also great comfort in God’s word the bible, that I would like to share with you. Please read 2cor.1:2-4 also Rev,21:3,4
We are all thinking of you now, and everyday you are in our hearts. May peace be with you.

He will be missed by all who knew him. Praying for God’s blessings of peace for your family.
Owen was in my daughter Evelyn Rose’s class over the last several years and made a lasting impression on her life. We did many fundraising efforts for Owen. Our entire family was devastated over the news of Owen’s passing but it hit Evelyn the hardest. She has insisted on wearing a orange shirt every day since Saturday when she learned of his being welcomed into Heaven. She is happy he will no longer suffer but she will forever miss her friend. We pray for your family. May God comfort you as only he can.
Praying for God’s blessings and everlasting love for your family.
