Sad to read that there were those in your life whom you care not to
meet ever again.

My wife is also born-again of water and the Holy Spirit. Thus, she and
I both anticipate the rest of eternity after our LORD's day of

those whom he loved after he endured his trials and tribulations from
satan.
May GOD bless you in HIS mighty way.
Prayerfully in Jesus' awesome love,
