Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God believe also in Me.
In my Fathers house there are many mansions; if it were not so I would have told you.
And he went to prepare a place for her and he came again and took her to himself that where he is she is also and she knew the way to where he was going.
Jesus was her Way, Jesus was her Truth, and Jesus was her Life.
John 141-4
She is absent from the body but present with the Lord. May the Lord strengthen you in your hour of need.
