Condolence: Dear Family, Please accept my condolences. The sting of death is hard to bear. Our Heavenly Father, Jehovah, understands our sorrow. He doesn’t want us hurting. In fact, in His Word, the Bible, He gives us encouragement. It’s explained in His Word about why death and suffering happen. Additionally, He helps us to understand that this was not meant to be. Acts 24:15, in the Bible, notes that there will be a resurrection! Revelation 21:4 mentions that our Creator promises that death, mourning, and pain will be things of the past. What’s more, 1 Corinthians 15:26 confirms that death will be brought to nothing. Imagine that! A world in which there’ll be no more death. Can you picture it? I am encouraging you to take heart! Currently, Mr. Makosky is now resting. But, in the very near future, he will be raised---resurrected---to the prospect of living here, on earth—FOREVER! This is a PROMISE from our Creator, HIMSELF! Isn’t that wonderful, good news? I hope these words of encouragement have done for you what I have intended for them to do. And, that is, to provide you with some comfort, peace, and strength.

Condolence: Dear Sharon, Terry and family, Just saw all the cars at your house. The local funeral home posted your father’s obituary. We are so very sorry for your loss. It’s never easy to lose a parent even though you know he is no longer suffering. We are thinking of you and wish you prayers and blessings. Love Gail and Reece Hefner

Condolence: I want to offer my condolences to John's family. I hope your fond memories of him will provide comfort for you. God has promised to bring an end to sickness and death. Those who have died will be resurrected. I hope these loving promises will help you to cope with your loss. Revelation 21:3,4 and Acts 24:15
