Dear Lora, Dinah, Janet and family,
Our deepest condolences to you and your whole family. Losing a mother is one of greatest losses and pain a person can experience. I myself lost my dear mother. There is nothing that we can say that will lessen your pain. Death is an enemy. May the hope of the resurrection give you comfort. It will not take away the pain, but it gives you hope to endure.
I didn’t have the chance to know your mother, but I know she must have been someone special to have raised great daughters like you.
This quote helped me to have a clear perspective of how soon we will be able to see our dead loved ones again:
“While graveyards may remind one of the brevity of life, the resurrection ensures the brevity of death.”
Soon you’ll be able to embrace your mom again, when Jesus breaks the sting that death has on us.
Live for that day our dear sisters. It’s just around the corner! Until then, remain under the protective arms of our Heavenly Father Jehovah and close to his organization, the brotherhood is here for you.
With Christian love,
Tim and Nancy Burns
