I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences for your loss and pray you find comfort in knowing that Jehovah hates death; he views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) He has a longing to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again.—Job 14:14, 15
I would like to express my condolences to the family during this time of great sadness and loss, “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm.”—2 Thessalonians. 2:16, 17.
Sorry for your loss
