We are so saddened by your loss. Franco was a good man who loved Jehovah and his family dearly, and always had a smile on his face. We are so grateful to have the resurrection hope, and that is what will sustain your family throughout this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you that Jehovah continue to sustain and comfort you, through his Word and through the brothers and sisters that will continue to comfort and console you. The April 22, 2004 Awake in applying Isaiah 26:19 said, "The dead are in the safest place imaginable, like an infant protected within its mother's womb. Indeed, those resting in the grave are perfectly preserved within the limitless memory of Almighty God. And soon they will be brought back to life, entering a happy, welcoming world much the way a newborn is greeted by a loving, waiting family!" We look forward to the time that we can all be together again, reunited with our loved ones under Jehovah's loving care. All of our love and sympathies, Justin & Annamaria Butler (DiRosa)
