#8 Brent 2011-06-09 03:31 To Those That Loved Him,
I am very sorry for your loss. Having lost some dear to me I can relate to your feelings. Encourageing words found at John 5:28-29 were powerful help to me. Soon after preforming a miracle Jesus Christ spoke these words to those looking on. They have given me comfort and I hope they will do the same for you.
Sincerely, Brent Quote
