My sympathies to you Kevin. Death is always tragically sad, even though for
the Believer we know it is not the end, but it is the end of our suffering.
(1 Cor 15:17-28 KJV) "And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye
are yet in your sins. {18} Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ
are perished. {19} If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of
all men most miserable. {20} But now is Christ risen from the dead, and
become the firstfruits of them that slept. {21} For since by man came death,
by man came also the resurrection of the dead. {22} For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive. {23} But every man in his own
order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his
coming. {24} Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the
kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and
all authority and power. {25} For he must reign, till he hath put all
enemies under his feet. {26} The last enemy that shall be destroyed is
death. {27} For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all
things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put
all things under him. {28} And when all things shall be subdued unto him,
then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things
under him, that God may be all in all."
(1 Cor 15:51-57 KJV) "Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed, {52} In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed. {53} For this corruptible must put
on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. {54} So when this
corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put
on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,
Death is swallowed up in victory. {55} O death, where is thy sting? O grave,
where is thy victory? {56} The sting of death is sin; and the strength of
sin is the law. {57} But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Hopefully, you will be consoled by these truths from God's Word. Some day
we shall meet in the glorious reunion of the heavenly Jerusalem before the
throne of the Lamb.

I wish I had time right now to write each of you
personally; I am so thankful for everyone's support.
Dad died this morning. Last night he thrashed about,
trying to rip his gown off and get out of bed. These
agitated protests had become quite common the
last few weeks. I told him that if he wanted out of
his bed, he would have to relax and let God get him
out. God is good. Trust Him. His arms fell to his
sides and he relaxed. That was the last I saw him.
I believe he trusted in God, and I rejoice in His
great love and mercy
Thanks again for your friendship and support.
Kevin C.
