I just found out a little earlier that a cousin of mine passed away today.
2 days ago, I found out the brother of 2 friends of mine passed away after a long valiant fight with cancer.
I will be taking a short break for about a week.
I once read:
For we know the assurance of a spiritual life at death is not the end but a transformation.
To that I would add:
A transformation to eternal, everlasting life.
RIP ye valiant fighters!
