"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord" I didn't know the man; but when I heard of his passing, and the love that he shared, the love of Christ shining through him, I chose to add a word. May God bring comfort to the family - and may the family KNOW that one day there WILL be a GRAND reunion in heaven - around the Marriage Feast of the Lamb - a certain promise from our God!
