My sincere condolences to the White family and friends. May our Jehovah GOD grant you strength and comfort during this most challenging time. Remember GOD is a GOD of all comfort. “GOD is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress.” Psalm 46:2.

To the Family. Our sympathy. Please be encouraged by what is said at Isaiah 57:15: ‘This is what the High and Lofty One says, Who lives forever and whose name is holy: I reside in the high and holy place, But also with those crushed and lowly in spirit, To revive the spirit of the lowly And to revive the heart of those being crushed.
