January 8, 2022 at 4:16 pmDear Jackie and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Roberts passing. Please know I am keeping all of you in my prayers. Just know that Robert is only sleeping and not in pain. Remember in John 5:28 it states “ Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus) voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life…And he, Jesus, has been given authority to do judging because he is the Son of God.”
Sincerely,
Cousin Barbara
