Dear Spooner family,
I'd like to express my condolence and deep regrets for your loss and share where I found help at such a time as this when I lost my entire family to this enemy death. I found comfort and hope in what I read in Jehovah Gods word the Bible at John5:28,29 there it tells us we'll see our love ones again in the resurrection when Jesus brings them back here on earth and also at ICorinthians15:26 we're told that this enemy death will be gone forever. These scriptures along with jw.org help me cope with my loss and get through each day because now I know I'll see my love ones again and so can you. I wanted to share this with you now because hope and comfort is needed at times like this in hopes that this will help you also for this is my purpose and please know that I do share your grief and hope you'll feel free to let me know if this helped in some way. I do hope to hear from you. Sincerely, GM
