Nicki and family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. May Jehovah God give you comfort at this time.
Remember He is going to do away with sorrow, pain, and death in the near future. (Revelation 21:4) And bring your grandma back to life when Jesus resurrects them to the paradise earth. Keep your hope alive for these wonderful promises in the Bible.
