Please allow me to offer my condolences to the, Chapman family with these healing words: “[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” (Rev. 21:4, 5) What an uplifting prophecy! Pause to savor what the Bible is foretelling. ‘God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.’ That cannot refer to normal tears that wash our sensitive eyes, nor can it refer to tears of joy. No, the tears that God will wipe out are tears caused by suffering, grief, disappointment, hurt, and agony. How can we be sure? Well, this remarkable promise of God links wiping out tears with ‘death, mourning, outcry, and pain being no more.’—John 11:35. I am very sorry for your loss. May God’s Word comfort you and your family. Sincerely, Meryl ~ healingwordsforu@gmail.com. For more information about God’s Kingdom promises, please visit jw.org.

To the family of Inez Wilson Chapman
Having grown up in the Boonshill community I knew Inez and all of her family well. Unfortunately my wife and I will be unable to attend the services tomorrow due to my having eye surgery at 6:00 AM.You can be assured I will be there in spirit if not in body because of not only my association with Inez and her family but because of my association with the church a Cyruston. I will have ALL of you in my thoughts and heart and am so sorry for your loss.
