    To the family of James Spiller My deepest sympathy to you and your family. It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take someone you love. When it happens the thought of never being able to talk to laugh with or being able to hold again can be difficult to bear. This pain is not necessarily erased by being told that your loved ones up in heaven. The Bible however gives us hope. In John 5:28;29. We find that those who are in the memorial tombs will hear his voice (Jesus)and come out to a resurrection of live and live in a paradise earth, with or without any more death, evil or sorrows.. Our love God Jehovah's through his son Jesus gives us this hope. Sincerely Jana Carles
