My name is Alex and, although I didn’t know Rudy personally, please accept my condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. The Bible can offer great comfort in these difficult times. When Jesus was on earth, he spoke of a wonderful time when he will call our dead loved ones back to life!! This incredible promise is recorded at John 5:28,29. I hope you can find some comfort in these words. If you would like to learn more about this beautiful hope for the future, please visit jw.org. I am so sorry for your loss.
