I, Marilyn Dorn, want all who read this to know that there is absolutely no doubt that I am in Heaven. Not by my own worthiness, but only through the merits of Jesus Christ, my savior, who paid the price for my soul's redemption through His death on the cross. I had committed my life to Christ in 1985 and lived for Him since then. Secondly, I commend my loved ones into the hand of the Lord and encourage them to place their faith and trust in Him alone for their salvation. May God grant you peace, love and strength as He guides all of you through life. Then at the end time, we will be reunited in Heaven as a happy family.
