    No one should ever have to hear or experience the pain of knowing that thier loved one is no longer freely available to them. and that your love for them will evetually fade into a memory.Is this the way things were suppose to go? Is this the way God wanted things? Absolutely not!!!! It’s comfronting to know that God has a made a way out of death and that he do away with death (Isa 25:8)Eventually God will awaken those sleeping in death, and he will wipe out every tear from thier eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore, the former things have passed away”
    (Rev 21:3,4) I hope that these few words, give more faith in a future and console you, in your time of need.
    With Love,B.D Sloan

She was so precious to me and a true role-model on being “God’s” woman. I hope to see you soon. My husband Paul and daughters Jody and Jennifer send theirlove and prayers your way as well.

    My love to you,
