I know the Ward family has saddened hearts because of losing Johnny. So I want to share this beautiful scripture where our heavenly father, Jehovah, (Psalms 83:18) promises us that he is going to do away with man's greatest enemy, death. Rev. 21: 4; "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt Also, for more Bible based comfort, visit (www.jw.org search "comfort" or "death") It has provided me with many more scriptures that have given me comfort, strengthened my faith and helped me find the answer to Why? I know it will do the same for you. God's kingdom that Jesus taught us to pray for at Matt. 6: 9, 10 will bring about these wonderful promises including the resurrection. (John 5: 28) It is my prayer this scripture will give you comfort in your grief. I offer my sincere condolences to the family.
