I'm really sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. Words cannot describe how painful it is to lose someone we love. Jehovah God is the God of comfort and he assures us that he can give us the strength we need during this difficult time. ''Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.'' (2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4) This Bible verses help us to see that God is ready to help us go through. May He grant the family the needed peace.

I am so sorry to hear about Annette. I remember her as a high school student who would hang out in my nurse's office with other Christian kids. She was always joy filled despite the many physical challenges she faced. Her testimony for Jesus was bright and faithful. This makes me very sad but I pray that Jesus' promise of eternal life will bring comfort.
