You have my deepest condolences. May the love of family, friends, and Almighty God comfort you during your time of grief and afterward. (Ps. 83:18; Isa. 41:10) May the hope of a resurrection on a restored earth bring you peace. (Acts 24:15; Psalm 37:11, 29)

To the family of Mr. James McLean,
You do not know me personally but I am a local volunteer in the Washington, DC area. I recently read of Mr. McLean’s 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 a brief message that comforts me during times like this. Revelation 21:4 states, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Right now, this may seem like an impossibility - a blurry dream even. But the Bible helps us understand how God and his Son, Jesus Christ feel about death. We were not created to die. And, as a result, the time will come when Jehovah God is going to defeat our enemy death and it will be gone forever. John 5:28, 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, I encourage you to please take a look at this link on the website, jw.org. The link is: https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-no3-2016-may/when-a-loved-one-dies/. This entire article 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

The many stories we have heard about Mr McLean from our daughter Jessica Gordon have been about a man with a love of family, a man of character and strong work ethic. We know he will be missed by many people but remembered by many, many more.

Sorry for the loss of your loved one. John 5:28 ,29 assures Jesus will restore life to those who has died. This is a comforting thought knowing your loved one is in God's memory. Hope this brings comfort.

My sincere sympathy goes out to the McLean family on your precious loss. I understand the pain of losing loved ones to the sting of death. Three years ago our daughter died and April 21, 2017 my beloved husband of 50 years fell asleep in death.
I would like to share what has helped me to cope. It wasn't just the outpouring of love from the many Congregations across the United States but the reality of what was contained in the Scriptures. Reading about how the Most High God's son Jesus viewed death was indeed comforting: Psalms 83:18 & John 11:11-14. Psalms gives the name of the Most High & the book of John gives Jesus view of death yes, as one Sleeping. Not that one is here or there but is sleeping. And the Scriptures even say where: Daniel 12:2 but I look to the future with complete hope of seeing my loved ones again free from sickness, pain & sorrow: Isaiah 33:24, Revelation 21:3,4. The Scriptures even say where they will be resurrected to & how long we will be together: John 5:28, 29 & Psalms 37:11 & Psalms 37:29.
Well, I hope that just these few Scriptures were of some comfort to you as they were to me.
Sent in deep sympathy & love,
Sissy
