Lid says
I am so sorry to hear of the death of Leora. The passing away of a loved one is always with much sorrow. May we have faith and confidence in the Bible’s promise of a time when pain, sickness and death are a thing of the past (Revelation 21:3, 4). My condolences are with the family at this difficult time. For more information on the Bible’s promises for the future, please visit jw.org.
