Sorry for your loss.
From faheyclan Phoenix.
I take comfort in knowing that my dad is not in pain or suffering. The Bible shows that death is a state of total unconsciousness, the Bible says: “For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5) When a person dies, the Bible explains: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish.”— (Psalms 146:3-4)
The South Bay Bridge Club has lost a tireless contributor of many years. A tough competitor at the the table but always a gentleman, Ray will be greatly missed.
Even though challenging circumstances and distance kept us from being together in person, I was blessed to stay daily in touch by phone with my Dad through his final days; he never lost his “get up and go” attitude; his physical body just tired out; I have total confidence he entered “the pearly gates” of heaven and God has welcomed Dad; I even like to think if there is bowling or Bridge in heaven, Dad is already participating; we love you and miss you already, Dad; may you rest in peace.
