We don't  like to say good-bye
  to those whom we love.
It is right for us to weep, but
there is no need for us to despair.
They had pain here.
They have no pain there.
They struggled here.
They have no struggles there.
You and I might wonder why God
   took them home.  But they don't.
They are, at this very moment,
   at peace in the  presence of  God.
