Karumala Mathai John

Joychayan was a loving neighbor, and family friend. He was a neighbor of my wife's family, but I personally had the privilege to meet him and his family 28 years ago. I have come to see that he has a deep faith and is a strong believer in Christ. I was upset to hear he had become sick. But as my brother-in-law wrote below, we went to visit him from Chicago and we were able to spend much time in prayer. It was a wonderful and comforting time for both him and his family, as well as for ours, to all be together again. From those precious moments, I came to see the great hope that Joychayan has for his eternal life. You will be greatly missed Joychaya! But even though we miss you on this earth now, we rejoice in the thought that we will be once again reunited when the trumpet sounds.
