So, sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for comfort and peace for the family.
Sheila and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have prayed that our loving creator help you through this hard time. God comforts us through His word, the Bible. There He tells us in Revelation 21:4 that there will come a time when death is done away with. So, at that time you will never again have to lose someone you love in death. Also, in Acts 24:15 we are told there will be a resurrection of the dead. There is a possibility you will see Albert again in a much better place than we have now. There is more at jw.org. Steve
