I am writing to offer my condolences to your family.  God never intended for us to get sick and die.  I have found this Scripture to be of comfort.  It's Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore" Please visit our website at www.jw.org to learn more about God's promises for the future.
