A good man that will be missed
I am so sorry for your loss. JEHOVAH GOD (Psalms 83:18, Exodus 3:15) hates death; he views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) He has a longing to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He yearns to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again.—Job 14:14, 15.
