"The end is the beginning..."
In loving memory...

Christ is the difference between hope and hopelessness. Our faith in Jesus Christ ought to make a difference in the way we live and in the way we die.
For the believer, death is the end of all pain, loneliness, and sorrow, the end of whatever has made this life less than abundant, and the beginning of unimaginable blessing ( Rev. 21:1-6 ). That prospect enables us to exclaim, "O Death, where is your sting?" ( 1 Cor. 15:55 ).
To Him I trust my soul, my dust,
When flesh and spirit sever;
The Christ we sing has plucked the sting
Away from death forever.
