Dear Freeman 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.

My dear friend, Russ, I was so very sorry to read of your Dad’s passing. I did not see the paper until that night. Otherwise, I would certainly have been there. Please know that you and your entire family have and will remain in my thoughts and prayers. You will all see your Dad again. Until then, he is in a much better place than us.

Russ, Wayne, Jake and Eli. Sorry about your loss of father/grandfather. He will be missed. I always enjoyed talking with him at wrestling matches and when he shopped at Lowes. May God watch over you and your loved ones during this time.
