To the family, I express my deepest condolences for the loss of your love one. In the Bible, Jehovah God expresses death as a "sting." (Psalms 83:18; 1 Corinthians 15:55,56) So this means that behind death, there is a painful hurt. He also knows what it is like to experience losing a love one as "he did not spare his own son but handed him over for us all." (Romans 8:32) But soon God will do something amazing. "All those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." (John 5:28,29) Jehovah will use his Son to bring back all our dead loved ones to life! What a joy that will be! There, God "will wipe out every tear from (our) eyes and death will be no more neither mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore."(Revelation 21:4) So yes, although experiencing the temporary sting of death, we will have the prospect of joy living on a paradise earth free of death forever! A wonderful website with more information on this subject is www.jw.org. This is where more Bible truths await us all. Please visit the website in hopes to add more comfort to your hearts. (2 Corinthians 1:3) Again, sorry for your loss.

I worked with Joe during my years at Cone Mills. He was a very intelligent man with a wonderful sense of humor. When he wanted to leave work early, he would say he was going "by" Data Processing, (or as he would say, DP). Which, he drove "by" on the way home everyday. That was one of the many running jokes in our office in those days. I pray that God will give Joe's family peace and comfort.
