" You have my deepest condolences for your loss of Marian. No matter how long we live, life is too short. Death is truly an enemy of all of us. She seemed to have such a positive effect on so many. Our loving heavenly father Jehovah knows the pain you are in and has promised a resurrection soon to come. That promise can be found in the Bible book of Revelation in chapter 21 and verses 3,4."
