Sister Lila and family…….. I need not remind you of the promises of God that flow throughout His Word. We may not fully understand why things happen, but we know that we all die sooner or later. We do know from Holy Scripture that Jesus conquered death once and for all by His own resurrection, for He did say, “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me though he die shall live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die.” (John 11v25,26) No doubt you will hear these same words at Wednesday’s funeral. God be with you. Love, Earl & Edie
