Memories of Cornelius 'Corny' Vlielander

From: Debora Bailey
I am truly sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the Vlielander family find comfort and strength in Jesus promise along with our heavenly father Jehovah of the earthly resurrection found at John 5:28, 29, when death will be eliminated forever found at Revelations 21:4. Truly, what a glorious and almost unbelievable day that will be! It's a reality though for God cannot lie!
