Mere words cannot describe what a kind and wonderful person Lucy was. Nor can they adequately express what a great loss her passing has left in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. I never knew a kinder, gentler soul than my dear Aunt Lucy and I'll miss her every minute of every hour of every day till the end of my days. It was my privilege to have her in my life. She leaves behind a void that can never be filled.

Dear family, I am so very sorry that you have lost your dear loved one in death. There are few words that can really bring comfort except perhaps the words of Jesus Christ who said, "'do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."' (John 5:28, 29) Yes, dear family, the Bible promises that our Loving Creator, Jehovah God through his son, the Christ, will restore life to all those in his memory, and that includes your loved ones. By that time, the earth will have been transformed into a beautiful Paradise, completely free of sickness, pain, suffering, crime, violence, and even death! (Proverbs 2:21,22; Psalm 37:10,11,29; Revelation 21:3,4). I sincerely hope that meditating on these reliable promises from Jehovah God (Isaiah 55:10,11) will ease your sorrow and give you hope.
