I am sending my condolence to you and your family in the death of your loved one, Betty Janisch. There is hope for our dead loved ones in the Bible at John 5:28-29 & Rev. 21:4. When there you can download a copy of the publication “When Someone You Love Dies”. It has been very helpful to me.

How fortunate we are to have known such a wonderful man. His greatness will be missed by many. God bless you all. Sincerely Michael Restivo
