June 3, 2018 at 5:17 pmDear Don & Family,
The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now to
someone we love.
May today’s sorrow give way
to the peace and comfort of God’s love.
There is comfort in friendship,
hope in prayer, and peace in love.
Sharing in your sorrow with love and friendship.
Sincerely,
Susanne Zunk

Written by Walter Dudley Cavert, professor and pastor
In the bottom of an old pond lived some grubs who could not
understand why none of their group came back after crawling up
the stems of the lilies to the top of the water. They promised each
other that the next one who was called to make the upward climb
would return and tell what happened to him.
Soon one of them felt the impulse to seek the surface; he rested
himself on the top of a lily pad and went through a glorious
transformation, which made him a dragonfly with beautiful wings.
In vain he tried to keep his promise. Flying back and forth over the
pond, he peered down on his friends below. Then he realized that
even if they could see him they would not recognize such a radiant
creature as one of their number.
The fact that we cannot see our family or friends or communicate
with them after the transformation, which we call death, is no proof
that they cease to exist.
Ours is a creative God, the maker of heaven and earth and all that
lives on it. This God who is the giver of life most assuredly has a
creative destiny for us beyond death.
