To the family of Betty Fogarty
My deepest condolences to you and your loss of loved one. Although I didn’t know Betty or the family, when I read of different ones losses, my heart goes out to them, because death is so unnatural. Along with the pain and suffering that often times accompanies tragedy. I’ve enjoyed comfort from the bible, the hope that is laid out for the future and the promises that God makes for doing away with sickness and death. There is a fantastic website that contains information on death and the hope for the future, it is http://www.JW.ORG. Also in conjunction with that if you have questions about the bible, feel free to contact me at freebiblecourse.jscrismon@gmail.com. I’ve found the information very comforting and you may too. May Jehovah God watch over you all and we will keep you in our prayers.
Sincerely J
