Guest Book

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to the family for the loss of your dear Sherry. I hope you will find comfort in the words of Jesus at John 5:28,29 where he promised that the day is coming when he is going to resurrect those in the grave. Until then, it is just like they are sleeping. (John 11:11-13) May your family draw strength from Jehovah, the God of all Comfort.
