    I'm so very sorry for your loss. But may the words of Jesus Christ be able to ease the pain of losing your dear loved one in death. But there is a very comforting message of hope that comes from Gods word the Bible and esp from His Son, Jesus Christ, found in John 5:28,29 where we find him here giving us all a promise of resurrecting ones like Kay back to life again and then she will be able to live forever on this earth as the Bible promises us all in Psalm 37:29 which says:The righteous will posess the earth and they will live forever on it. So may these words bring an everlasting feeling of comfort and hope for the future when she will be raised up again to be held and cherished by all who loved her and knew her well. So go to JW.org to find out what other promises does Jehovah God make thru Jesus Christ and His Heavenly Kingdom rule in the hands of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthains 15:26 and Revelation 21:3,4
