Dear Linda and Family...

Sorry to hear of your loss, but in Christ Jesus we know that those who go before us we will UNDENIABLY see again. May God continue to stregthen you as you go through this time of mourning. It saddens me that you must bear this grief that we all must face at some point in time, but God turns our mourning into dancing and dries every tear that we cry. Rev Inyang is now standing before the Lord, in the very presence of the Almighty, surrounded by all of the heavenly hosts. He has been reunited with those in Christ who went before him and though he may miss those he left here, he is in no way sad, worried, grieved or in pain.

You are blessed, so be a blessing to someone else...
