Our hearts have been filled with grief since learning of the passing of our beloved neighbor and dear friend - Mrs. Coleta Jones. She was a super sweet spirit, far more than mere words can convey or pen can express. We pray God’s lovingkindness and tender-mercy will abide with the Jones family as we find the faith and summon the strength to accept that God gave her to us and now God wants us to give her back to Him. May you find some sense of future comfort in the sharing of these words: No one who has lived well need fear their time to die. To those of us who are alive, death is the most terrible thing we know; but when we embrace its reality death will come unto us as a birth, a deliverance, and a new creation of ourselves. Death will become what healing is to a sickness. It will become what home is to an exile. It will become what reunion with a love one is to the bereaved. As we draw near to death, a solemn gladness shall fill our hearts. Our fears of death are akin to the terror of children who fear the night. But, when death finally comes, the night and its dark, feverish dreams shall pass away. It will become God's great getting-up sunlit morning. Then we shall awaken unto the loving presence of God. Prayerfully, Dr. & Mrs. James R. Samuel
