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 las escrituras. Por ejemplo adiós nos promete paz y seguridad en el futuro sercano. En la Biblia en el libro de Isaías 33:24 dice que llegara el día en que nadie dirá "estoy enfermo". En Revelación o Apocalipsis 21:4 dice que "Dios limpiara toda lágrima de los ojos y la muerte no será más". Y por último en Hechos 24:15 dice que "va ha haber una resurrección". Podemos notar que nuestro creador Jehova Dios tiene el poder de eliminar toda la maldad y el sufrimiento esto incluye las guerras, además Dios tiene el deseo de devolverles la vida a nuestros seres queridos que hayan muerto.
Our deepest condolences. May the Lord give you peace and strength.
Edna, Sandy, and Rosie, and all family members, I was saddened to hear about Nieves' passing; please accept our condolences. She was always on my mind and in my heart, and was very dear to all of us. She, like her mother Sarita, was there for us. I'm glad that my wife and sons had the opportunity to meet her. Love, from us all. Enrique (Quique) and Cecilia
