Virgil & Brandice I was devastated to read of your son’s death. Life seems so unfair to lose someone so young. In Revelation 21:4; tells us: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” For more comforting scriptures please visit: http://bit.ly/1K38EFt.
