I am so sorry for your loss. May the Most High God comfort you as you mourn the loss of Eddie. (Psalm 83:18) May the hope of a resurrection right here on a restored earth bring you peace. (Acts 24:15; Ps. 37:11, 29)

Dear Williams family, my deep condolences to you at this time of great loss. May you find some comfort from one of God's precious gifts to us ( 2Timothy 3:16). Yes, that precious gift is the Bible.

And, I would like to share what helped me & is still helping me to endure this very difficult time in my life. Our daughter fell asleep in death 3 years ago and recently my husband of 50 years also fell asleep in death.

Please, when you have the opportunity to look up these few Scriptures maybe they will be of comfort to you as well. The Most God's son Jesus viewed death in such a comforting & peaceful way (John 11:11-14 & Psalms 83:18). Yes, he viewed death as one sleeping and not that they are here or there but just sleeping.

And, Jesus performed resurrections right here on the earth (Colossians 2:17). So, may you look forward to the time when the Most High God will fulfill His original purpose for the earth (Psalms 37:11, Isaiah 33:24 & Revelation 21:4). Yes, we have the opportunity of seeing our loved ones again in perfect health (Isaiah 33:24).

Well, I hope these few Scriptures brought you a measure of comfort as they were for me. Please, feel free to contact me anytime. I truly understand.

With deep sympathy,
Sissy

To the family of Mr. Eddie Williams,

You do not know me personally but I am a local volunteer in the Washington, DC area. I recently read of Mr. Williams' death in the condolence section of Wiseman Mortuary, Inc. My prayers and thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.

While I did not know him personally, I am confident that by all accounts he was an exceptional individual and model example for others. I am sure you were very proud of him and loved him very much.

I know this is a very difficult time for you. But I wanted to share just a brief message with you as a source of comfort. 1 Corinthians 1:3, 4 states, “Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort...who comforts us in all our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.” The Bible helps us understand how God and his Son, Jesus feel about death. And as a result, the time will come when he is going to defeat our enemy death and it will be gone forever. John 5, 28 and 29 states that “all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.”

I know this may be a bit much to absorb right at this moment. However, when you have time, please take a look at this link on the website, jw.org. The link is: https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/bible-teach/hope-resurrection-of-dead-loved-ones/. This chapter gives us hope for our dead loved ones and gives scriptural proof that we will see them again on a Paradise earth.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

In sympathy,
RLG from Washington, DC
