Dear Duran 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.

You genuinely cared for the well being of all people. You took great pride in your work, your character made you one of the best leaders I’ve ever worked for. I will never forget you and the mark of true Christianity you left behind. May your soul continue to rest peacefully.
