"After meeting your family at the funeral home this week, I know that Jesus is already fulfilling His promise in Matthew 5:4 to comfort you as you grieve over Mrs. Gladys. But, please don't forget that Mrs. Gladys is not dead, only changed. She has a new address, having moved into her heavenly home! She would want each of you to find comfort in Jesus, her Savior and Hope. What a special lady! What a special family! The Kelleys
