Faye, we'll truly miss you. Your smile, your laugh, your since of humor and your accent.
But only for a
while. Though we are sad you are now truly at peace and happy. Enjoy your inheritance in Christ. We look forward to the time when we see you again. Tell Grandma we love and miss her and look forward to hugging her again too.
Ephesians 1:11-14 (NKJV)
11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
