In Loving Memory
Of My Brother Anthony
Hebrews 2:9
But we see Jesus,
who was made a little lower than the angels
for the suffering of death,
crowned with glory and honour;
that he by the grace of God
should taste death for every man.
Hebrews 2:14
Forasmuch then as the children
are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself
likewise took part of the same;
that through death
he might destroy him
that had the power of death,
that is, the devil;
1 Corinthians 15:12
Now if Christ be preached
that he rose from the dead,
how say some among you
that there is no resurrection of the dead?
1 Corinthians 15:13 ,14
13But if there be no resurrection of the dead,
then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen,
then is our preaching vain,
and your faith is also vain.
1 Corinthians 15:20
But now is Christ risen from the dead,
and become the firstfruits
of them that slept.
John 11:25,26
25 Jesus said unto her,
I am the resurrection, and the life:
he that believeth in me,
though he were dead,
yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth
and believeth in me
shall never die.
Believest thou this?
Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.
1 Peter 1:3,4
Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
which according to his abundant mercy
hath begotten us again unto a lively hope
by the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 To an inheritance incorruptible,
and undefiled,
and that fadeth not away,
reserved in heaven for you,
1 Corinthians 15:51,52
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment,
in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump:
for the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed.
1 John 5:13
These things have I written unto you
that believe on the name of the Son of God;
that ye may know that ye have eternal life...

Psalm 17:15
As for me,
I will behold thy face in righteousness:
I shall be satisfied, when I awake,
with thy likeness.
by Esyrose
You were an angel sent from heaven above
A vessal of God to teach me to love
You live now with Christ I should be glad
But why does my heart still feel so sad?
I know you are finaly happy and free
No more need for another heart surgery
Never again will you feel physical pain
You're now living in God's Domain
All sorrows and tears have vanished away
Someday I'll join you, oh what a day!
Till that day when we meet again
My dear brother and very best friend
I'll hold you close still deep in my heart
There you will stay bro never to part
I'll rejoyce in the Lord and be of good cheer
Jesus is coming back,...could be this year
To God be all Honor , Glory and Power
We will sing His Praises that very hour
With Jesus as King sitting on His Throne
In Heaven we'll rejoyce and never feel alone
With His choir of angels singing His Praise
We shall all join them and see Him Face to face
God's Holy Word shall Forever be our Light
We shall All serve Him with great delight
All Hail King Jesus Who Forever Shall Reighn
To hell with the devil, death, sickness and pain.
~Occasionally, we are graced with the presence
of an earth bound angel. They are unable
to stay with us for long, but while they do,
they bring unprecedented joy and happiness
to all they touch. While they are here,
we bask in their goodness
and marvel at their contribution to the world.
When they leave, we are left with
the devastation that comes with losing
such a wonderful being...
but we must remember...
the earth bound angels are not ours to keep.
They are ours to enjoy,learn from,
and behold until they return home.~

I'M FREE
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I found that place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

THE OTHER SIDE
This isn't death, it's glory!
It isn't dark, it's light.
It isn't stumbling, groping,
Or even faith, it's sight!
This isn't grief, it's having
My last tear wiped away.
It's sunrise, it's the morning
Of my eternal day!
This isn't even praying,
It's speaking face to face.
It's listening, and it's glimpsing
The wonders of His Grace.
This is the end of pleading
For strength to bear my pain.
Not even pain's dark memory
Will ever live again.
How did I bear the earth life
Before I came up higher,
Before my soul was granted
It's every deep desire.
Before I knew this rapture
Of meeting face to face
That One who sought and saved me,
And kept me by His Grace!

PRAYER:
Father God, Your word says,
"You are a very present help
in times of trouble..."
my grieving friends need Your help right now,
for this is a time of trouble for them.
Please let Your Presence become very real to them.
I ask that you would lift the heaviness of their heart,
and that You would bear their burden of sorrow
and begin to exchange it for peace and hope.
Father, shower them with unexpected tokens of Your love,
so they would know how much You really do care.
God, we do not understand suffering,
but we are grateful that You have promised
to be with us in the midst of it.
Let Your words be a comfort to my friends
in this time of tears.
"Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me."
In Jesus mighty name. Amen
You're At Peace In His Love

(Verse 1)
I recall the day
Jesus called you home,
And He set you free from all the hurt and pain.
Now you live with Him
In joy that never ends,
And one day I know I'll join you there
And see you once again.
(Chorus)
Though for now you're gone,
It is just a little while,
Till the Lord gathers all up above.
As I think of you now,
There is comfort and a smile;
You're at peace
In His love.
(Verse 2)
When you left that day,
We had to wonder why --
Still so many things we do not understand.
But we trust in God
Who makes our lives complete
And by faith we carry onward,
For our lives are in His hand.
(Repeat Chorus)
Though for now you're gone,
It is just a little while,
Till the Lord gathers all up above.
As I think of you now,
There is comfort and a smile;
You're at peace
In His love.
(Verse 3)
With the angels you sing
In your new-found home,
To the One who will dry every tear.
One day we will join
The chorus up above.
We shall all be reunited,
And the night shall disappear!
(Repeat Chorus Two Times)
Though for now you're gone,
It is just a little while,
Till the Lord gathers all up above.
As I think of you now,
There is comfort and a smile;
You're at peace
In His love.
(Ending)
You're at peace
In His love.
