Dear Green family, I am sorry for your pain, and loss. You can find real comfort in what God has promised, such as in John 5:28,29 -He promises that he is going to resurrect all those who have ever died, back to life again here on earth. And all the things that cause us sorrow, pain, and even death, will be gone forever. You can read about this in Revelation 21:3,4, and 1 Corinthians 15:26. To learn more about God’s promises, go to JW.org.

Daphne was one of my best friends for more than 20 years. We shared so much. A lot of people thought she was my mom when we were together and she was like a second mom but or more like a sister. No one will ever know the bond that we shared. I’ll never be the same without my sidekick. I’ll miss you Daphne. I’m so thankful to have had you in my life. I’ll love you always best friend.
