RoswellGrey and Joeyr and I am sorry to hear about the passing of your loved ones. While we should always be spiritually prepared for when it is our time,
I like this passage from this passage in the bible:

John 10:10 NIV The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Peace be with you and your families at this time.

I think I mentioned before that I lost my uncle who I grew up with across the street a week after Christmas. He was a great Christian man who loved God, his wife and his family and was a great example for all of us to follow.

His favorite movie of all time was "Its a wonderful life" with Jimmy Stewart. My Uncle certainly impacted many lives.

He was the 3rd child of 6 and the only one to ever die of cancer on that side of the family. We guess because of industrial chemical exposure.

He was only 65 years old.

But he won the marathon race that we all run and he has beat us to heaven and is with the Lord and in no pain. That is awesome and I will see him again and that is awesome too.
