Just think of a world without tears, where a man can live for a million years. With no more grief, sorrow r pain, and never with thought of dying again. Just think of a world where man plants his vine, he can sit back in comfort and say this is mine. He may never have to wonder off in another land, he will know this was meant for him in life's eternal plan. I have never seen in all my years, a world without sorrow; a world without tears. May God's love and peace strengthen you (Yvonne), Alex III & Amethyst during this time of bereavement.
