Our Grand creator Jehovah is such a loving God and he provides such wonderful provisions for us during our time of bereavement. The Bible tells us at Isaiah 25:8 "that he will wipe tears from our eyes." He also gives us hope in the form of the resurrection. John 5:28,29 says "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." The Bible gives us hope that one day our dead loved ones will be brought back to life. So while we greive now for those lost to us in death, the best is yet to come!

My brother I love you very much and I will miss you until we are together in heaven. I am so glad that you are not suffering anymore. Even though I was forbidden in you life and couldn't help with your care, I will never forget the 13 years you spent in my home. Please give Buddy dog a hug and kiss for me. Cat even tho you didn't want us around our brother, we had accepted you into our family. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to not let us show our last respect. Thanks for taking care of him.

I've just heard of my dad's passing today through the mail. Even though we only knew it other for 4 years he still was a good guy. Just wish he didn't make me an outcast in his life. Being a Christian you would think he wouldn't have done that. If you would like to contact me you can find me on Facebook. Also, how did he die?
