1 Corinthians 15:55-57. "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." I praise God for Parents and Grandparents that loved God and spent a lifetime installing Godly principles in our lives. Dad would say - Don't cry for me - cry for those that don't know Jesus!
