Although living across country, we, the Latzo and Jeffords families followed “Pugs” life telephonically and through social media. He was truly an inspiration to us on so many levels. when we were down, we only had to look to facebook or the computer to see what sporting or social event Pug was attending that week. It brought joy. “He really lived life to the FULLEST” ..”god bless you PUG”……..Our hearts go out to Diane, Carol and Jim, Kelly and Dave, Andy,Robbie,Sammy,Jimmy,Bennie Sean ,Cheyenne.Savanah……..REST IN PEACE………………………Uncle Bobby,Aunt Barbara

I want to express my sympathies to the Walsh family. I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope that you find comfort in knowing that one day you’ll have the hope of seeing your loved ones again. Acts 24:15 says that “there is going to be a resurrection.” What this can mean for you is a real hope of being reunited with your dear loved ones. During difficult times like this, we need comfort, and Almighty God is the source of that comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) May you find strength in knowing that death is not the end, but that there is a beautiful hope of seeing our loved ones again at a time when “death will be no more.” (Revelation 21:4)
Fred says
Right now, when your loss is so fresh, it may be difficult for you to imagine that this pain will ever go away. But in time the blessing of God’s unfailing love will soften the hurt you’re feeling and bring your heart the peace, comfort and hope that it needs to heal. How? Revelation 21:4 tells us that soon everything that causes us pain, including death, will be gone forever. We also have the hope of our loved ones being resurrected here on a paradise earth, as Acts 24:15, Luke 23:43 tells us. I do hope you find comfort in this.
Though I did not know your James, he sound like a beautiful person. I am touched by your loss. Please accept my sincere condolences. (JW.org).
