Aunt Connie and Chris, I am so sorry for the pain from this great loss that you must be experiencing. Uncle Jack is such a sweet man. I only wish I'd had more opportunities to know him better while here on Earth. I will never forget your visit to our home in NC years ago. What a fun time we all had and the treasured memories we made.
I say that Uncle Jack "is" instead of "was" a sweet man because we know the "real Jack" (his spirit man) is not asleep but very much alive. He has just moved ahead of us into another location, HOME!
We are so blessed that we have the hope and a truth that Christ alone made possible. Death has truly lost its sting. Because of what Jesus did for us, we no longer fear death but because of His great act of love, we now live forever. The body sleeps for a while, yes, but will be resurrected and perfected. WHO we are, our Spirit however, IS alive and well!!! In Christ, one cannot be dead, but ALIVE! FOREVER!!! May this reminder of truth bring you tremendous peace and hope in a greater measure than ever before. Love, Jan
