  1. It pains me that I never had a chance to see my nephew since he was 5 years old, and now I have to look at an obituary of him, never got a chance to say goodbye or attend the funeral.
    May the Lord bless all those who are grieving with comfort. To Kim, please contact me. It is only right that I get a chance to have a relationship with my great nephew since I didn’t get a chance with DeShawn.

    Without fear the way ahead¸ seems more distinct & clear- & we realize there’s nothing, we need ever face alone, for our heavenly Father loves us & our problems are his own. (Ps. 46:1) Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. He that exercises faith in me , though he dies, will come back to life. (John 11:25) In the Bible, the Greek word, translated “resurrection” literally means “ a standing up again” It implies that a person is restored to life, retaining his or her unique identity, personality, & memories. This gives us very much hope, for our future. There is a day coming when every person who has fallen asleep in death will wake up & live on a newly restored earth with us, never worrying about sickness or death anymore. I hope that you can find comfort & encouragement in the above verses or those of your own.(Acts 24:15, & Luke 7;12-14) What a wonderful hope, that of seeing our loved ones once again.
