Dearest Grimes Family, I wanted to express my deepest sorrow to you . We all look forward to the time when our lord Jesus will call, and say get up! to all those who have fallen asleep in death. As spoken of in Luke 7:13-15. I hope that this scripture prove to be a source of encouragement as it has been for me.
