I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to all of Elster’s family and friends. For right now there’s no detour around grief. No shortcut through mourning. However, please be comforted in knowing that the God of all comfort will soon erase your pain. Because 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.
