As we make our journey throu this life, death is our final stop. The Bible gives us comfort in our time of grief. Even the perfect man, Jesus Christ, “Gave way to tears.” So greatly grieved was he over the death of his friend, Lazarous.(John11:35) Jesus said “I am the resurrection, & the life.”(John11:25) What a wonderful gift we have been givin, to have the hope of seening our loved ones once again.
Eric, Victor, Burnadeen and ALL of the Family Members
