Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your mother, grandmother and aunt. Having lost my mother, my father and my aunt to Alzheimer’s, I understand the grief that you are going through at this time. But what helped me was God’s promise found in the Bible at Revelation 21:4, where God tells us that very soon he will do away with death and sickness from the Earth forever, and then he will resurrect Daphine to perfect life here on Earth, surrounded by family and friends, which has always been God’s purpose for mankind and for the Earth.
Iva Helen, so sorry to hear of your loss. My love and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Doris Bramlett
Dear Hipps Family: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the family and friends of Daphine. We will never get used to losing our loved ones in death because as Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, we were created with everlasting life in view. But may you find comfort in knowing that Almighty God has promised that soon he will swallow up death forever along with the pain that it brings. (Isaiah 25:8) God has also promised that he will return Daphine to you as it says at John 5:28,29 and also Psalms 37:29. You can also learn more about what happens when a loved one dies at JW.org.
Sincerely,
Susan
Our prayers go out to this family, it’s heart breaking I know to lose a loved one but we can find comfort in knowing that they are with the Lord. Daphine and her brother Jimmy were our childhood friends and I know she will be missed but she will not be forgotten. May the God of Love and Peace comfort you during this time
