Condolence: My condolences to the family. Vaughn lived a long and interesting life. Many people ask, though, why do we get old and die? The answer is in the Bible at Genesis 3:1-15 about Adam's sin and loss of his life. Romans 5:12 explains it best: "That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned". What kinds of arrangements has God made for those who have died? This and many other Bible questions are answered at jw.org.
