I am sorry for yor lose death is not a
natural thing that's way we are so
upset when we lose a loved one to
death. The bible talks about a time
when death will be no more in
Revelation 21:4. I would be more than
happy to more fully explain this hope
to you and other bible truths you can
reach me at Kbidotkom@gmail.com.

When we went to the first meeting of Spindletop Street Rods , Dan and Ometta were the kindest members. They sat with us and told us the history of the club. How they had hung in there when it almost folded..with their support it grew to one of biggest street rod clubs. We Traveled many miles trying to keep up with Dan leading the pack. Rest in Peace.
