Family

My prays are with you during this difficult time of loss. God is still a good God, hold on to his unchanging hand.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
--Revelation 21:4

Keisha we love you. May God continue to bless and shine his light upon you and your family.
