For the family we are so sorry for your loss. We have enjoyed visiting with Janice every time she and John brought her dogs to be groomed. She so loved her pets. She had such a great sense of humor.
My sincere sympathies to the Kelley family. I’m very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you during this period of mourning. A comforting thought at times like these can soothe the heart. The Bible reveals that it is God’s purpose to restore the dead to life by means of a resurrection to a paradise earth, where sickness and ‘death will be no more.’? (Revelation 21:4) Jesus said: ‘The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.’? (John 5:28,29) Imagine seeing your dear loved ones again and being reunited with them. God has promised to make that a reality for his faithful ones.
