        Tony DeMarco offered his insight on
      
      
        bein taken down from the cross.  A cross
      
      
        of a debilitating illness that caused him so
      
      
        much pain that at times he would ask Our
      
      
        Lord, “Why have you abandoned me”? He
      
      
        ended his talk with his miraculous healing
      
      
        and understanding of never having been
      
      
        abandoned.

        Trey & Kim Bowman lost
      
      
        their 8 year old daughter last year to cancer and they told us how they
      
      
        know that death is not the end. They so warmly and lovingly shared
      
      
        their own experience of the resurrection of
      
      
        Our Lord on the third day after his death.
