    I’m so sorry for the loss of your loved one. It is comforting to know that he is alive in God’s memory, God will never lose sight of him. (Luke 20:38)

    It is also comforting to know of a time when God promises to end death forever. (Rev 21:4)

    At that time all those alive in God’s memory will be brought back to life. (John 5:28)

    Hi Donna,

    So sorry to hear about your dad’s passing. Sound like he was a wonderful person with an interesting life. I didn’t realize he was involved in music.

    I think of you often even though I haven’t been great at keeping in touch.

    love,

    Amy
