A gentle life ended September 27, 2023, when Mark Linzy Wells was taken from us. We know he is at rest with our Heavenly Father. After much suffering, the Lord took from him all pain and took him to a place of rapture where there is no pain, no burden, or tears. There are three steps to heavenout of self; into Christ; and into Glory. Brother Mark took the third step where there is no more weeping, no pain, no sorrow, and no disappointments. Mark has fulfilled his purpose on earth. Family and friends may weep for a while, but they should rejoice with him and thank our Heavenly Father for the life he lived among us and for taking him to the land of Glory as He has promised all who are faithful.
