19 Nov 2023Aunt Dina and Family,
Daran and I are so sorry to hear this. May God give you comfort and peace. Maybe this verse can give you hope:
Romans 8:18
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
We love you!
Dina Kassing
