May you all find comfort in our Lord's word at John 5:28, 29 "the hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will be resurrected." Then at John 11:25 where Jesus said " I am the resurrection and the life.." May these few verses bring you comfort. Your neighbor and friend, Madeline Hernandez
