Condolence: My sincere condolences to the Neeley Raines family on the recent loss of your dear one. Words can be difficult to express at such grievous times. But please know that our Heavenly Father Jehovah really cares for you. He wants you to be comforted and to comfort one another through the cherished memories and love you shared with Dorothy. (2Corinthians1:3,4) I hope the promise given to you, in Jesus own words, can be a healing and strengthening assurance. At John 5:28,29, he says she “will hear his voice and come out... to a resurrection of life.” I hope these words can bring you much comfort.
