Dear Alexander family ,
. The purpose for this condolence is to share some encouragement. Having lost 2 children in their twenties my father when I was 4 and he was 35.Nothing can prepare us for the death of a child, parent or spouse The pain of death cannot be eluded and, its finality can be devastating. Relatives and friends can bring us comfort I turned to the bible for the much needed comfort. The bible says here is Going to be a resurrection Acts 24:15. When you are ready, perhaps I can assist you in finding additional finding encouragement. God’s Word and time will bring you encouragement and strength to deal with the grief. This pain you might think will never end In the interim please visit our website jw.org
