    My sincere condolences to Rohena’s family on your loss.

    May you find comfort and peace in your precious memories,
    and in Jehovah God’s promise to return all those who are
    sleeping in death back to life on a paradise earth free from all
    sorrow, pain, sickness and death, by means of his Son Christ Jesus.
    Psalms 5:28,29) Rev 21:3,4) Psalms 37:11,29

    My deepest sympathy
