Trevor Terry wrote a sympathy message

“I am a coworker of Beth and wanted to extend my sympathies to the entire family. There is a beautiful verse at Isaiah 25:8 which says, "He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces." So we will have the opportunity to see our loved ones again. And we can trust Jehovah God to wipe away our tears by helping us heal emotionally. I hope this verse can bring you a measure of comfort.”
