Most people are not comfortable with the word. Though people of faith look at death differently. Faith tells us that as our physical life comes to an end our new (forever) life begins. It is a profound consolation as we mourn.
On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up, taking the lives of its seven crew members. We watched the disaster on television screens in our home. Today we mourn again those brave souls who gave us both a dream and the reality of the unknown. God Bless them and the families they left behind.
On January 28, 1985 a quiet widow died. She had no children but I was blessed to be her niece. I smile now as I recall our last visit and what she told me.
