JEHOVAH has offered us something that no one else can offer. It is something immensely appealing and precious, yet it can be neither purchased nor earned. What he offers is the gift of everlasting life—for most of us, endless life on a paradise earth. (John 3:16) What a delight that will be! Gone will be the things that cause so much sorrow—strife, violence, poverty, crime, sickness, and even death. People will live in perfect peace and unity under the loving rule of God’s Kingdom. How we yearn for that Paradise!—Isaiah 9:6, 7; Revelation 21:4, 5. We look forward to seeing you again in that Paradise.
We will miss you.

To Indiana and family
I want to send my sincere thoughts and prayers to your family. I enjoyed your brother for four years. He was always a pleasure to be in his company and what a handsome picture the family chose to share. If anything I can do to alleviate any pain you may feel, please don't hesitate to call me. God Bless you guys.

In Loving Memory Of
My Father
If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane.
I would walk right up to heaven,
To bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say good-bye.
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
I would have held you closer
if I had only known....
