To my co-worker and friend, Louise Montgomery
Portions from I Thessalonians 4:13-18 (TLB)And now, dear brothers, I want you to know what happens to a Christian when he dies so that when it happens, you will not be full of sorrow, as those are who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and then came back to life again, we can also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring with him all the Christians who have died. So comfort and encourage each other with this news.
