Dear family and friends. I am so deeply sorry to hear about your loss. Kenneth will be missed, but not forgotten because Jesus’ words found at (John 5:28,29) says there will be a resurrection. So what this mean is Kenneth will be given a fresh new start without sickness and death (Rev. 21:4) to live forever in a peaceful new world. (Psalms 37:29) I hope these promises found in the Bible bring comfort knowing that you have an opportunity to see him again to share more wonderful times together.
