I am praying for Jimmy and Elena to receive the greatest comfort from the greatest and only true comforter, our God and Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is with you to protect you from wanting to give up, to hold you with God´s love, our Creator! This is the time to turn to God and His son right now. They can forgive John and help you understand what happened. Turn to God, He is truly waiting for you both, and John. God bless you all.
Love, and God´s peace beyond our understanding,
Cousin Brian Kelly Jr.,son of Catherine Maria (Sardelich) Kelly
