ReplyDeleteFeeling a specialness as I was able to talk to Jim on the phone the Thursday evening before he passed. I specifically asked him "How do you know?" and he said, "You just do". Both of us were referring to 'the gate into salvation'. Much sorrow, but also much praise because I know he is in a better place. Thankyou Lord for easing his length of suffering. Mary
