Dear Irons family, I am sorry for your pain, and loss. You can find real comfort in what God has promised, such as in John 5:28,29 -He promises that he is going to resurrect all those who have ever died, back to life again here on earth. And all the things that cause us sorrow, pain, and even death, will be gone forever. You can read about this in Revelation 21:3,4, and 1 Corinthians 15:26.

Praying for your family. Barb is not in pain any longer and at peace. I have so many memories of Barb while growing up. Karen had a big sister I didn’t, and I learned about make-up and boys. So sorry for your loss, paying for strength, and peace for you all.
Love,
Brenda
