My thoughts are with the family and friends of Joseph. Death is such a sorrowful time. I find that by turning to the bible we can have hope and comfort. Ecclesiastes 9:11 "time and unexpected events overtake us all." Jesus said in John 5:28 "the hour is coming in which all those in the graves will hear my voice and come out." Jesus also said in Matthew 5:5 "Blessed are the meek since they shall inherit the earth." We find similar words in Psalms 37:29 "the meek will possess the earth and live forever on it." In Revelation 21:1-5 God said I will make the earth like new and will remove all suffering, mourning and death. jw.org
