"The Coming Of The Lord
13 But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.*
14For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
15For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.
16For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first;
Our love and prayers and tears for you in this season of weeping. "

We are ever grateful to have shared a bit of Jack's life with him and enjoyed his friendship with that of Ida's.We will cherish the memories of time spent travelling with him and being in his presence. Jack will be missed by us and all whose lives he touched.
We wish Ida and all family members, strength, comfort and peace at this time and for the years that lie ahead.
May God grant the soul of John Gillis eternal rest.
