I wanted to express my heartfelt condolences to the family of Sakari. Almighty God is aware of your devastating heartache and He cares about you. (Psalm 34:18). He personally has a longing to undue all the pain and suffering that death has caused you. (Job 14:14-15) Many people today believe that death is natural and part of our daily lives. However the Bible specifically says that death is an “enemy” mentioned at 1 Corinthians 15:26 "And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing." No one is ever ready or glad to have a loved one die, no matter how long they have lived. The Bible tell us at Ecclesiastes 3:11 that God put "eternity (desire to live for forever) in our hearts" not the desire to die. That is why according to Jesus' words found in John 5:28-29 there is going to be a resurrection (bringing back to life). At that time our tears of joy will replace our tears of pain as we embrace our loved ones again. Besides God’s promises he also comforts us by moving people who care about us to give us words of encouragement that we need to hear to give us hope that is like an anchor to stabilize us through this difficult time.

We reminisced about Germany often. Always said we would return one day for a visit. Thank you for your friendship with Sakari.

My deepest sympathy to the family of young Sakari. I know these times are so painful. Jesus even wept when Lazarus died, even though he could resurrect Lazarus. Please know that our sympathy is with. the family at this difficult time. May Jehovah grant you peace and comfort to have endurance.
