My deepest and heartfelt condolences to the family of Brooklyn. I pray the Holy Spirit will comfort and keep all of you during this difficult time……much love to you all……John 14:1-3 ~ ““Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.”
