Our heart goes out to your family for your precious loss. I can't take away your pain, tears and sadness. But please know we care.
"Just as a cultivator longs to see the roots of a cut-down olive tree spring up again, Jehovah God longs to restore his deceased servants and many others to life. (Matt. 22:31, 32; John 5:28, 29; Acts 24:15) What a joy it will be to welcome back the dead and see them enjoy productive lives once again!"

I am so sorry for your loss. I always looked forward to seeing Billy, a wonderful shipmate and friend, at our ship’s reunions.

I just found out Mr. Holt passed away. Sorry I didn’t know before the funeral.
He was a good friend to my Dad.
Praying for you and your family
