Ms. J says
Please allow me to express my dearest sympathies. I know how hard it is to loss someone so dear. What really helps me is the hope we have of the resurrection back to life here on earth found at John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21:4. At that time we will be reunited with our loved ones. How wonderful that will be. Till then, lots of loving thoughts to the family
