My heart breaks for the Akins Family, Being a ex daughter in law, My heart and prayers go out to you all. Rest in peace sweet Pop!!, We will all see each other soon. Wish I could be there in body, But there is spirit.
I'm so sorry to hear of Larry’s. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW
