Hi, I remember visiting with Margie Mae Massey Biles on the day that Niel Armstrong first walked on the moon. I have only the best memories of our visits with her and her family. Thomas Massey
Although I didn’t know Mrs. Biles personally I know how it feels to lose a loved one. Death is such a painful event that it’s called an enemy in the Bible at 1 Corinthians 1526. But Jesus gave us a hope in the Bible at John 1125 I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life. So, we will be able to see our loved ones again by means of the resurrection. Then we will never have to lose them again. Why can we say that Because God has promised us this in the Bible at such scriptures as Isaiah 258, Isaiah 2619, and Revelation 213-5. Isn’t this good news Please read these scriptures in your own Bible. Sincerely, Rosemarie
