Joy, certainly, we are saddened by your loss, and your family's loss. We, as part of your Christian family, feel the loss of Quenton from this world as well. However, Quenton & Joy are Christians which guarantees a soft landing place for our souls in Paradise, and a look forward to the 2nd coming of Christ Jesus with the mighty sound of Angels where our bodies will be transformed to perfect immortal bodies to live in peace and love forever with our Father in Heaven. May God grant you peace that surpasses all understanding.
