Even though I did not know Mr Devens, I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to his family. Acts 24 : 15, Psalms 37 : 29, Isaiah 25 verse 8 gives us more comfort for today and hope for the future. Just think how much God wants us to live forever and how much he loves us and how we will see our loved one's again.

Very sorry to learn of your loss. “May you have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort.” (2 Corinthians 1:2, 3). Please remember there will be a resurrection for all. (Acts 15:24). For more comforting information, visit jw.org.
