    I am so sorry to hear of Calvins passing. I have known some of his family for a great many years and it was my pleasure to assist in his dialysis care during his short time at Davita. My thoughts are with you all as you lay him to his final rest.

    My condolence to the Glenn family. The Bible promises the time will come when sickness and death will be a thing of the past. (Isaiah 33:24; Isaiah 25:8) At that time, Calvin will be able to live in peace and happiness here on the earth. (Micah 4:3,4; Psalm 37:11)) What a wonderful future promise God makes and we know God does not lie. (Numbers 23:19) To learn Why we Die, visit jw. org for the Bible’s answer.
