Lewanna sending hugs and prayers to you and your family as you lay your mom to rest love you Latrecia Montgomery

Human life was never meant to be brief and painful; Jesus Christ, under his Father's directions, will soon remove all the harmful consequences of Satan's rebellion. (EPHESIANS 1:8-10) For obedient mankind this will mean life on a Paradise earth, far different from the brief, pain-filled existence of today. (PSALMS 37:11,29,REVELATION 21:1-4) These obedient ones will include billions who are asleep in death; our Creator, Jehovah God, has made loving arrangements to awaken them in the very near future.(ACTS 24:15) A GRAND FAMILY REUNION AWAITS MANKIND! The Holy Scriptures are our only source of true hope and comfort; May you have hope and comfort in abundance.
