A Caring Family says
Continued deepest and sincerest sympathies to the family and friends of Walter Adamowicz. We know no matter how much time has passed there are times you still feel, see and think of your loved one as just yesterday. Time stands still and whether a month, a year or years have passed the sorrow is still the same. However please take comfort in the years of life lived by your loved one knowing they had an accumulation of warm memories, hope, goals, friendships and family. As such the truth of the words of Ecclesiastes 7:1 come to the fore in their regard…”A good name is better than good oil…(the reputation earned in one’s lifetime).. and the day of death is better than the day of birth.” (for now the blank page at birth has written on it the lifetime lived at one’s passing). Therefore to the lifetime of your dear one take hope in the words of Job 14:14,15 where the question is asked “If a man (woman) dies can he (she) live again?” Vs 15 answers it with the words saying God “..will call..” and he (those now deceased) “would answer.” Exactly as Jesus did with Lazarus ..he called “Lazarus come out!”, and Lazarus answered by coming out alive and well (John 11:43,44). May this hope comfort you (Acts14:15) and allow you a brief smile in thought of what it would be like for you and your loved one to one day do the same. Please read these scriptures as often as needed in your personal copy of the Bible or online any day or any time at jw.org. Sincerely
Doreen Baxter says
Peace, prayers and blessings. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.
