Non disperate ma Pregate, Zio è vivo Spiritualmente perché è morto solo fisicamente. Zio è tornato alla Casa Del Padre Celeste da dove è venuto al mondo e lì ci aspetta alla fine della nostra missione sulla terra.
Ci sentiremo per telefono con la speranza che riesca a darvi conforto, visto che sulla terra non rimane nessuno e ognuno di noi ritorna dal Padre Celeste alla fine del suo mandato terreno.
A Presto confidando nella Vostra Fede in DIO Padre!
