She was a good wife, mother, neighbor, friend, and church member. The most important thing - many years ago she realized she was a sinner in need of a Savior. She was saved and forgiven by trusting in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.” He referred to Romans 3:23; 6:23; 10:9-10, 13. Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life.
