“Realizing the uncertainty of life, the certainty of death, and the judgment to follow, I, Marvin Veldhoff, face the future with full faith and confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, my Lord, and Savior. My trust is in His substitutionary death for my sins, His resurrection for my justification, and His promise to prepare a place for me where I shall be forever with Him in Glory. I assure my friends and family that the desire of my heart and the focus of my prayer has been that you would all KNOW AND LOVE AND SERVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.”
