  5. Mrs. Sordia says:

    My deepest and sincere condolences to Kathleen’s family and friends what a great sadness death brings, it’s no wonder that the Bible calls death an enemy. 1 Corinthians 15:26 states; ” As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing”. What a wonderful hope we are given. Revelation 21:4. Mrs. Sordia~Phoenix.
