So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
“With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".
If you could name someone who you think would live forever (Leonard Krisell) would come to mind. I will miss my Friend~ He would come down from Dover for Me to wait on him~and I Enjoyed it! ~ Prayers for His Family...We will miss this One of a Kind Man....."The Mole was Broken & Buried after He was Born".
Our prayers go to the family and friends in this time of loss.
