Sorry to hear about CORN. He was my brother. When I needed to go to doctors appointments and needed a ride he was there. Sweet man.

Rest In Peace young man until that Great Day, for it is soon to come.

Family and friends, I extend to you and pray that you'll accept my deepest condolences. It's as though I can actually FEEL your pain. And I pray that our Heavenly Father will comfort your Hearts...that He will ease your pain as ONLY He can, for it is true indeed that there is NO sorrow that Heaven cannot and will not heal...in due time dear ones. And so please, please, please keep your minds on this one thing: that the day is coming when "...God will wipe all tears from our eyes. And death shall be no more! Neither shall mourning (grieving), nor outcry, nor pain be anymore!" For the former things will have passed away. ~Revelation 21~ Jesus is Coming. He is SOON to come! And you will see your beloved Cornelius again. Only remember our Gracious God's Word and trust in Him. You can depend on Him! So please, " Let not your hearts be troubled." Not overly so. I trust and believe that you Believe in God. And so believe also in the Son, Christ Jesus and in His Precious Promises children of God, and lift your heads erect, for our deliverance from these times of distress and sorrow is getting near! In the meantime, keep your minds on Jehovah when you're feeling as though your hearts will actually break. Yes, cry out to your Father Who is in the Heavens! And I assure you that you will Spiritually feel the comfort of His Arms around you, enabling you to carry on until that Glorious day when We Shall Behold Jesus Christ our King Face to Face for He has said, "I AM COMING QUICKLY." .........Even so, come Lord Jesus! I pray that we'll all be ready for His Return. And if there is anyone reading this who has not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, it is not too late to accept the Gift of Eternal Life that the Almighty God has offered to all. His Love for us is so GREAT that He sent His Only-Begotten Son to DIE for us so that we might have Everlasting Life! ~John 3:16~ And you need only believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus IS Lord, and you will be saved according to the Word of God. And He will do the rest. Feast on His Word found in the Bible, and be filled. He will show you the Way. if you'll ask Him to, and if you will TRUST in Him. I would ask you to forgive me for inundating you with so many words on this platform but I cannot, for Jesus has Become and IS LORD in my life and I, even in my imperfection cannot help but to share with all the Glorious Good News of what God has done for us all. Will you too, take the time to tell someone about Goodness of the Lord and of His Love for us please? Be Blessed in the name of Jesus. Lovingly yours, ~Melanie~
