Obedient humans will soon receive the full benefit of Jesus' ransom sacrifice.
This will occur under the rule of the Kingdom for which the upright have long prayed, saying:
“Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come.
Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.” (Matthew 6:9, 10)

Pat & Erich Berberich

Your loss of your Mom was also a great loss for the Berberich family. Irma was one of a kind, a real presence when we were in her company. You are probably not aware that she was Erich's godmother.
Now she rests in peace with George, Kathy, Tante Lina and Onkel George. God bless all of you! Love and Prayers, Aunt Pat & Uncle Erich
