And should we die before our journey's through, Happy day! All is well!

Well none of us expected it to be through this early. Today we lost a dear friend. Everyday you glance at the news and see a car crash. The reporter says in his reporterly voice that someone was killed. Then you turn off the TV and go on with whatever you are doing. But somewhere, someone is mourning the death of that person. Tonight that is all of us. The loss of a dear friend has brought sadness to us all, but this is not the end. We all know better then that. We know we had an older brother who lived and died for us, and his death brought the mourning of many, but his new life brought the celebration of many too. And it should bring celebration to us today. Christ died that we may live. So someday, our friend will live again and we will see her. For she is not dead, but only sleepeth. Through the power of Christ her body will rise and reunite with her spirit once more. After that death will not separate them ever again. So this isn't the end. Its really just a beginning. And remember her and her family in your prayers. It is much needed. Comfort may not come from the fact that she is gone, but it was meant to be. She served her purpose here on this earth. She touched many lives throughout her life and will touch many more in the life to come. She's where she needs to be. RIP 6.21.2011
