Dear Chavis Family, I am so sorry for your loss. All of the bad things happening to everyone will be a thing of the past and they will not come to mind. Isaiah 65:17 says" For look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth; And the former things will not be called to mind, Nor will they come up into the heart." May Almighty God bless all of you.
