    I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. Please take notice of the promise at Acts 24:15, which says that there is going to be a resurrection. For this work, God longs to do it. (Job 14:14, 15) May these scriptures bring you a measure of comfort in your time of mourning.

    Condolences to the whole Jester family for their loss. I remember fondly of him bowling at Capital Lanes on Saturdays for adult/child leagues with Anna and Levi, and my children Brandon and Annika. May he find peace now!
