until the hour of separation.”—Kahlil Ghibran
Flora's funeral is in Randolph tomorrow, February 19th, and the obituary can be seen here.
At times it is difficult to believe that the harsh reality of death holds the promise of resurrection. President Gordon B. Hinckley wrote these words while attending the funeral service of a friend:
What is this thing that men call death,
This quiet passing in the night?
‘Tis not the end, but genesis
Of better worlds and greater light.
O God, touch Thou my aching heart,
And calm my troubled, haunting fears.
Let hope and faith, transcendent, pure,
Give strength and peace beyond my tears.
This quiet passing in the night?
‘Tis not the end, but genesis
Of better worlds and greater light.
O God, touch Thou my aching heart,
And calm my troubled, haunting fears.
Let hope and faith, transcendent, pure,
Give strength and peace beyond my tears.
There is no death, but only change
With recompense for victory won’;
The gift of Him who loved all men,
The Son of God, the Holy One.
Thank you Bessie for your kind tribute and your love and support especially this past week. After reading President Hinkley's words I think I will be able to go to sleep.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tribute! I loved Flora and my life was enriched because she was my friend. I will miss her greatly.
