Dear Deborah Link & Family
Where God in His infinite wisdom has removed Minister Link from your midst, He has not removed him from your heart.
One of God's we celebrate his "homecoming" where he has been given a new heavenly body that will enter into the presence of the Lord and rejoice among the angels.
