18 March, 2009 When I read Comfort Ahead by Jeff Messick on page 57 – there is a poem – ‘To My Family’.  I lost one daughter to cancer in 2007 and 2 sons in 2008 – one to cancer and one to heart failure.  I could not understand and I questioned God, Why?  Then I read your poem – God used this poem to remind me of the love, joy, peace and beauty they were enjoying and their bodies made new – I am at peace now and our hearts will never forget our family above.  Thank you, Jeff for writing and sharing this book.  God Bless You.   Osie
	As family and friends have shared with me their thoughts or hearts’ concern – poetry would come to mind to provide comfort for them.  Now that I have compiled 39 of those poems in a book called ‘Comfort Ahead’ – I feel that many of these poems were also being prepared for you.  Know that God loves you – please listen to His voice through these poems and the scriptures connected to them.  I pray that you will find comfort ahead.   Jeff        $10 each
