    To Betty Tate’s family, I am so, sorry for your loss. Just some words of comfort to you. The bible holds out a wonderful promise for you and your family. You will see Betty again. At Revelation 21:4 it says this,”And he [Jehovah] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. the former things have passed away.” Jehovah God will wipe your tears away permanantly, because death our enemy, mourning, and pain will be gone forever. Jehovah makes us this promise and I know he will do it. You and your family will not have to suffer anymore. All suffering SOOOOON to end for all the world of mankind. Jehovah is a happy God, he wants you and I to be happy, young vibrant and he will also bring Betty back to life, here on the earrth by means of Jesus Christ. I do hope that these words have been of comfort to you. May Jehovah continue to be with your family during these trying times.
