"Sitting next to David, watching his breathing and thinking of all the things we did in our time together, I am reminding myself of your blessings of being my husband and best friend.
I'm also imagining a future on earth when you will be resurrected and enjoy the new earth with all the blessings from Jehovah through Jesus Messianic Kingdom.
You were my business partner in our small remodeling of old houses. Sometimes we laughed, and many times we didn't know what we were getting into! There were challenges that we overcome together because we knew we could work it out. I am saddened that you left so fast and I am hopeful that you will be there in paradise earth in the future.
I really want to hold on to you, my husband and friend. I will have comfort from Jehovah (2 Corinthians 1:2-4). I am looking forward to a future where there's hope and a promise as Revelation, Chapter 21 verse 4 says:
"... And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
I will see you again, David!
Aleida Burchett, his wife of 21 years
Life Without End?-At Last!
(John 3:16)
Can you see with your mind's eye,
Peoples dwelling together?
Sorrow has passed.
Peace at last!
Life without tears or pain.
Sing out with joy of heart!
You too can have a part.
Live for the day when you'll say,
"Life without end, at last!"
In those days all will be young,
All at peace with Jehovah.
Troubles are gone, from now on,
No need to weep or fear.
Sing out with joy of heart!
You too can have a part.
Live for the day when you'll say,
"Life without end, at last!".
Paradise all will enjoy
As we sing of God's glory.
Long as we live, we will give
Honor and praise to God.
Sing out with joy of heart!
You too can have a part.
Live for the day when you'll say,
"Life without end, at last!"
