Condolence: My sincere condolences for the loss of your dear Betty. Our wonderful God Jehovah is no doubt saddened too, as he mourns along with us.  Yes, death is painful to him too, since we are created in his image (Genesis 1:27).  However, he has made for us a provision in the form of the resurrection  (Acts 24:15). The Bible gives us hope that one day our dead loved ones will be brought back to life. There will also be a time when death will be no more (Revelation 21:3,4).  So while we greive now for those lost in death, the best is yet to come!
