I am writing to give your family comfort from the scriptures. I promise you, the scriptures say YOU WILL SEE DOUG LEONARD AGAIN ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. God has resurrected humans in the past John 11:39-44 39 Jesus said: “Take the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it has been four days.” 40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”t 41 So they took the stone away. Then Jesus raised his eyes heavenwarD said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me.42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but I spoke on account of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that you sent me.”v 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Lazʹa·rus, come out!”w 44 The man who had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Free him and let him go.” God is eager to do it again 1 Corinthians 15:26 26 And the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.b Job 14: 14,15 14 If a man dies, can he live again. I will wait all the days of my compulsory service Until my relief comes. 1 5 You will call, and I will answer you. You will long* for the work of your hands. If you like what you have read, there are more you can read of God’s promise found at www.jw.org Sincerely, Jeanne Strange
