To Margaret, I know you believed in him. So as Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this? John 11: 25 26. May you be at peace with him this day and forevermore. Love Tom and Darlene Hawkins
