When our loved ones fall asleep in death it can be very devasting. When we think about how certain species of trees can live over 100 + years. We may wonder why we as humans only have only an expectant life span of 70 or perhaps 80 years. Romans 5:12 explains why this is so. Isaiah 25:8 tells us that his his due time, Almighty God will swallow up death forever. He will restore life to many who have fallen asleep in death.
Psalms 90:10
John 5:28,29

Gloria was a very good friend and neighbor to my mom and dad for many years. Always sharing from Berts garden, and his very tasty cooking. Many times visiting in my moms kitchen or their front porch. Gloria was a very special person.
