Toni, Michelle and Niki: my family all sends their condolences to you girls. We practically had our childhoods together and will always remember all the funny times and crazy times that we all shared!! Your mom told me how proud she was of her girls and grandchildren. We wish you all peace, and you are in our thoughts!!
I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that God is not the cause of this sadness. But He WILL soon fix it. Soon He will fulfill the promise made to us in John 5:28&29, and Revelation 21:3&4. I sincerely hope you find comfort in these scriptures about our future here in Earth…Jw.org
