Florena Dixon

My condolences to the Dixon family. Wow 100, still we want our loved ones to be with us forever and soon we want have to worry about losing our loved one at all for Revelation 21:4 says: "Death will be no more, neither mourning nor outcry be any more. The former things have passed away". I hope this fact help and comfort you, in your time of need.
