========================================
Excerpts of a eulogy given by Thomas Brooks at the funeral of Mrs. Martha Randall at Christ's Church, London, on June 28, 1651 entitled: "Death is a believer's coronation day and marriage day."
"When death shall give the fatal stroke, there shall be an exchange of earth—for heaven; of imperfect enjoyments—for perfect enjoyments of God; then the soul shall be swallowed up with a full enjoyment of God; no corner of the soul shall be left empty—but all shall be filled up with the fullness of God. Here in this present world, they receive grace—but in heaven they shall receive glory. God keeps the best wine until last; the best of God, Christ, and heaven—is beyond this present world. Here we have but some sips, some tastes of God; fullness is reserved for the glorious state. He who sees most of God here on earth, sees but his back parts; his face is a jewel of that splendor and glory, which no eye can behold but a glorified eye.
"The best of Christians are able to take in but little of God; their hearts are like the widow's vessel, which could receive but a little oil. Sin, the world, and creatures do take up so much room in the best hearts, that God gives out himself little by little, as parents give sweets to their children. But in heaven God will communicate himself fully at once to the soul! Grace shall then be swallowed up of glory!" ...
"Death is a believer's coronation-day, it is his marriage-day. It is a rest from sin, a rest from sorrow, a rest from afflictions and temptations, etc. Death to a believer is an entrance into Abraham's bosom, into paradise, into the "New Jerusalem," into the joy of his Lord." ....
"See that Christ be your Lord and Master, … and then your dying-day shall be to you as the day of harvest to the farmer, as the day of deliverance to the prisoner, as the day of coronation to the king, and as the day of marriage to the bride. Your dying-day shall be a day of triumph and exaltation, a day of freedom and consolation, a day of rest and satisfaction!"##imported-begin##Warren Kniskern##imported-end##

Paula/Family,
I was very sorry to hear of the passing of Keith. He will be missed as a great person and professional. I am grateful to have had the opportunity of getting to know such a fine person. My thoughts are with you and the other family members during this time of grief and loss. He is far better off than any of us who remain left behind. Let me know if you need anything from me. You have my cell but just in case it is 305 323 9218 and my work e-mail is [email protected]. You may reach me with any of these contacts. God Bless you all.

A Better Place
By Joanna Fuchs
He’s in a better place right now
Than he’s ever been before;
All pain is gone; he’s now at rest;
Nothing troubles him anymore.
It’s we who feel the burden of
Our sadness and our grief;.
We have to cry, to mourn our loss,
Before we get relief.
We know we’ll reconnect with him
At the end of each life’s road;
We’ll see his cherished face again
When we release our earthly load.
We whole-heartedly love you and will deeply miss you. Till we meet again...
