    I remember when, Maria and her friend Tony came down to Florida for Christmas a few years back. The kids brought her to Panama City to share Christmas with us here at our home. I had went back to Clearwater, FL to visit for a few days and every evening Maria and Tony would go out for a walk around the block or walk over to Walgreens. She loved to walk. We had such a wonderful and blessed gathering so many memories of that time long ago. John, We know that what you are going through right now is very difficult, just know that we are here for you. No one can prepare you for a loss; it comes like a swift wind. However, take comfort in knowing that, your Mom is now resting in the arms of our Lord. Our deepest condolences to you and your family, John. Our love, Mom and Dad Huss

    Meus pêsames. Me sinto muito por sua perda. Perder um amado em morte é doloroso. Espero que sua família encontre alguma medida de paz ou consolo sabendo que Deus promete que ele vai terminar todo o sofrimento e a morte algum dia. Apocalipse 21:4 diz, Ele enxugará dos seus olhos toda lágrima, e não haverá mais morte, nem haverá mais tristeza, nem choro, nem dor. As coisas anteriores já passaram." Espero que esse texto traga consolo. Se queira saber mais sobre o que a Bíblia ensina por favor entre em contato comigo or visita o site JW.org/pt
