Ann and Deanna, where to begin. Aunt Barb was like a mother to me. I remember coming up and staying in the summer.my bedroom was in the front upstairs. She helped to shape me into the person I am today. She is forever in my heart. My mom dad, Aunt Barb, Uncle Wilbur and uncle Don are together again

Sorry for this time of sadness in your life. However, the scripture at Isaiah 26:19 will give you much encouragement for a future hope to see your love ones again on earth. It says "your dead ones will live. A corpse of mine --they will rise up. Awake and cry out joyfully, you residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of mallows, and the earth itself will let even those impotent in death drop in birth." Please feel free to email me for more information.

Condolences to your family. May you receive comfort from the word of God during this time of loss. Acts 24:15 says there will be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. Can you imagine the joy of Martha and Mary when Jesus raised Lazarus back to life?—Read John 11:21-24, 38-44. Revelation 21:3,4 promises that one day death, mourning, and outcry will be no more. To find out more regarding the hope for the dead visit JW.org and search "death".
