When the enemy death strikes our loved ones, it leaves us with much pain and grief, but at such times, we need to go to God's Word for comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4 & Revelation 21:3,4). May the comfort from the scriptures help you find peace. - Jimme and Earlene Felton(Tuesday, March 11 14 10:46 pm EDT)
