Hey Friend, 
Christy Johnson
 
It's hard to believe that my baby Jake would be almost fourteen years old this week. Even though he passed away eleven years ago on June 13, 1998 in a tragic car wreck, he still lives on daily in my heart and mind. Not a day goes by that I don't think of his beautiful life. My only solice is that I will get to see him again. 
 
I hope that as you read today's evotional, The Funeral Home That Refused to Bury Jakeyou will receive comfort for those whom you love that have gone on to be with the Lord. If you know the Lord, you, too, can rest in the same solice that comforts me: You will get to see them again some day.
 
Until then, may I offer you some encouragement? Proverbs 10:7 says, The memory of the righteous shall be a blessing. 
 
And don't forget to post your comments! I love reading what you have to say.
 
He never fails!

My right foot danced a silent jitterbug as my left foot bounced up and down underneath it.

 

Finally, the door opened. "Christy. Right this way, please," the director called as he motioned me to follow.

 

He opened the door to another room and offered his condolences. After I was seated, he gently slid some paperwork across the conference table where we were sitting and asked me
