I am so sorry for the loss of Mr. Tocco. Whenever we lose someone we love, it brings unimaginable pain. I hope that during this moment, you will find comfort in the words of Job 14:14, 15–‘If an able-bodied man dies can he live again? All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait,
Until my relief comes. You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning.’Our Heavenly Father Jehovah God has the desire and power to bring our loved ones back to life here with us on the Earth forever. He will fulfill His promise here. As you and I await this glorious time, I hope that you find strength and peace. With loving concern and sympathy.
I express my deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Anthony Tocco. Please take comfort in the bible’s promise of the time when tears, pain and death will be no more. (Rev.21:3,4) May you rely on Jehovah God and his word the bible during your time of grief.
