To the Shrieve Family, I am sorry for your loss. I send my condolences to you and yours.
The Bible makes it clear that God did not originally intend for humans to die.
Have you ever wondered why we grow old and die? Some sea turtles live for hundreds of years. Certain trees have lived for thousands of years. But humans live just 70 or 80 years and then die. Have you wondered why?
As the Bible explains: "Through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men." Romans 5:12.
Jesus Christ himself said: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." John 5:28&29; and also Acts 24:15 says: "That there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."
May Jehovah God and Jesus Christ be with you and your Family?
