From day one you took me in like a daughter. I will forever be grateful for what you have done for me and specially for my children. I will never forget our conversations, sitting down watching wrestling with you and all those hugs you gave me. I thank God for the time I was able to spend with you and to be able to see you one last time. My children and I will forever miss you. Love you, Annette
May God give you of His Strength, Peace and Comfort in Jesus Name, Amen!

condolences to family and friends. I am sorry for your loss. I hope the promises recorded at Revelation 21:3-5 which states that God will wipe all tears from our eyes along with death, pain and suffering can be a source of comfort to the family. That promise along with the hope to see our dear loved one are assurances from our Heavenly Father. For more resources dealing with grief you may visit jw.org
My true condolences go out to the family of Jose Nieto. Prayers for the grieving family as he left to his new home. I did not personally know this man, but I do know his 2 oldest kids (my oldest brother and sister, Jose Guadalupe Nieto and Joann “Villarreal” Nieto) from his 1st wife which is my mother (Maria Antonia), who was also taken by the lord last year, after loosing her battle with cancer. I pray for them 2 as well, because even if they hadn’t seen him for about 45 years, I’m sure inside they are saddened. So, he also left behind 4 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. God bless his family.
