Reciban nuestras condolencias. Sabemos que el perder a un ser querido en la muerte es muy doloroso por eso queremos compartir con ustedes el consuelo que Dios nos da mediante su palabra la Biblia. Por ejemplo Dios promete eliminar la muerte, en Revelación o Apocalipsis 21:4 dice que "Dios limpiara toda lágrima de los ojos y la muerte no será más". Todos esperamos esta promete y esperamos vivir en paz y felicidad y Jehova pronto cumplirá todas estas cosas. Estarán en nuestras oraciones.
Solo Jehova sabe el Dia y la Hora en que hay que dejar todos los sueños y solo soñar en el Cielo , pero puede uno ver gracias a los recuerdos que fue inmensamente Feliz y siempre con esa Alegría que lo caracterizaba , esa Alegría que ahora el comparte con sus Padres , dichoso es el haberlo conocido y dichoso el Cielo que escucha su Armoniosa Voz .
