Your Memories of Kenneth J. Chaisty

I didn't know Kenneth or his family but I read about his death on the internet and want to express my sorrow over your lost. I loss my grandfather to maligant melanoma in 1985. It was awful that the thing he enjoyed most is the very thing that killed him, the sun. It was a few years after his death that someone shared a scripture with me that brought hope to my heart. At John 5:28 Jesus stated, "Do not marval at this, (the fact that he could perform miricles of resurrection) because the hour is coming in which ALL those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." We can just imagine the time when Jesus calls and Kenneth, my grandfather, and millions who have died will awaken and wrap their arms around us.
