Tommy. Cathy and I pray for you and your family at this time of mourning at the passing of your Dad. We read of Jesus weeping for a friend whom He loved Lazarus at his death. But He also rejoiced when He said "I am the Resurrection and the life; those who believe in Me though they may die shall live. We can all one day rejoice in that Day of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and all who died in Christ
