A Word of Consolation
If a tiny baby could think, it would be
afraid of birth.
To leave the only world it has known
would seem a kind of death. But immedi-
ately after birth the child would fi nd itself
in loving arms, showered with affection
and cared for at every moment. Surely the
baby would say, "I was foolish to doubt
God´s Plan for me. Th is is a beautiful life."
For the Christian, passing through death
is really a birth into a new and better
world. Th ose who are left behind should
not grieve as if there were no hope. Life
is changed, not taken away. Our dear
ones live on, in a world beautiful beyond
anything we can imagine. With Jesus and
Mary they await the day when they will
welcome us with joy.
"Do not grieve too much," they say to us,
"we are living and are still with you."
For those who have been faithful, O Lord,
life is not ended, but merely changed; and
when this earthly abode dissolves, an
eternal dwelling place awaits them
in heaven.
A Bridge Called Love

Bob was by all accounts a wealthy man, but his physical wealth paled in comparison to the wealth of his heart. I had the good fortune to meet Bob several years ago at St. Paul's Episcopal. We were in many ways unsuitable to become good friends, but it didn't stop either of us from doing so. I enjoyed many great conversations with him right up to the end. I will miss him greatly. Good Bye, my dear friend, until we meet again. Enjoy your new life.

Bob was a big guy with a big heart. He knew what he wanted and pursued it with determination. I will always remember his pursuit of Sue in knowing he wanted her to be his life partner.

To a wonderful man who has shown much kindness to me, someone who he had not known too long. He has shown me what it is to be a caring and loyal. To Bob, Maureen and Bill I am thankful to have had them in my life, even though a short time, but during that time they taught me much about what it is to be true Christians. His life was a blessing to many I´m sure, including mine. May he rest in peace and enjoy eternal happiness with our Savior.
