I grew up with you in my life and still watch all the old films again and again. My father never missed a single show of you, God rest his soul. A true great. Im 41 yrs old but as soon as i see you on film, i close my eyes and im right back in my childhood with all the shooting and the shouting. Great stuff of legends never grows old and i will still enjoy watching your films with my children and grand children. Your my number one actor and hero.
Dear Friend:
I express my sincere condolences to you and your family.
When death separates family members, such great loss can result in deep sorrow. Abraham wept over the death of his beloved wife, Sarah. (Genesis 23:2) Even the perfect man Jesus “gave way to tears” when his friend Lazarus died. (John 11:35) So it is natural to experience sadness when death claims someone you love. However, Christians know that there will be a resurrection. (Acts 24:15)
Think what it would mean to see a time when death would be no more! Never would you have to go to a cemetery and mourn the loss of someone you loved. Never would you experience the heartache of looking at a marker that tells where your loved one is lying in the ground beneath your feet. Instead, your loved ones would always be with you in the land of the living. That such a time will come is not empty imagination. It will be a reality as surely as the sun rises every morning. It is a dependable promise, given by the only One capable of fulfilling it.
Jehovah is eager to bestow blessings. We have every reason to place complete confidence in the promises of Jehovah, “the God of truth.”—Psalm 31:5.
May Jehovah bless you and your family with peace.
