September 24, 2018 at 5:26 pmWhat a beautiful woman it saddens me to here of a loved ones death
It makes me feel better knowing that Gods word tells us that death will not last forever
It will be done away with very soon. Rev 21:3-4 says death will be no more in the coming paradise on earth Ps 37:10-11
I look forward to seeing her in that new world to come where she will live life to the fullest and stay young forever
my sympathies to all who love her.
May the God of comfort bring peace in this time Romans 15:33
