JD, San and Family: When I heard the news that JD was in a coma, I got on my knees and thanked God for JD. It was JD’s name that my husband called in his final hours and that connection was always a special memory in my heart. When I heard that he had passed I thanked God for his presence here on earth. My heart goes out to the family and I pray that you will find comfort in the memories of the times you shared. God bless you all.

San, Nique & Meechy,
I am sorry to hear about the death of your father and grandfather. Although your hearts are heavy, may your souls rejoice because he is no longer suffering. We are often selfish because we want our loved ones with us always. However, according to God's word, we must all travel this road one day. Don't spend a lot of time trying to figure out why this happened, instead, hold on to your faith, continue to trust God, and know that He does not make mistakes. God said that he would not put more on us than we can bear. With that in mind, take comfort in knowing that it may be difficult right now, but God will carry you through. You all are in my thoughts and my prayers. If you need someone to pray with you or just need to talk, know that I am available. May God bless you!
