It is in times like this we must ask our God to hold us and remind us that He is the living God. That while we've lost our love one we must rest in knowing our love one rest in Him. Donna Liz may the peace of God rest upon both of you and the family. May the Grace of God protect your minds and the joy of Christ give you the comfort of knowing that Jovon is resting.
