REMEMBRANCE +
I
am firmly convinced that life as we know it on this earth is a
beginning,
and not an end, a temporary dwelling, not our ultimate home.
I am confident that we will be reunited with loved ones and friends
in the Hand of God, together, in a better place for all eternity.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
May
their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed, rest
in peace.
The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment
of malice shall
not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die,
but they are in peace.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-- The Book of Wisdom
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Here are names of friends and acquaintances of mine who have gone
before,
but whom I hold in happy, lively memory, and for whom I earnestly
pray.
I hope they, who have the Ear of God, will, in turn, pray for
me.
May they rest in peace until we all meet again
on the Great Resurrection Day.
