Cuando un ser querido se duerme en la muerte, sentimos un inmenso dolor, pero gracias a la maravillosa esperanza que Jehova Dios nos da, de volverlos a ver de nuevo en un futuro muy cercano, nos llena de alegria. Jesucristo lo dijo en Juan 5: 28 y 29. Familia Gonzalez. Sentimos mucho su perdida y esperamos que estas palabras de Jesus, les fortalezcan.
