It was a pleasure and an honor to be a fellow Classmate of Larry's at the University of Alabama School of Medicine. He will be missed.
Since our Mother’s passing I have come to realize much more clearly that the reality of Heaven is just as much a matter of our basic Christian faith as our belief in the existence of God and His Son, Jesus the Christ.
If we say we believe in Christ, we must believe that what He has told us is true about life after death in Heaven for all true believers.
In light of Heaven's actual existence and sure rewards, we can be happy for our loved ones’ gain who died in faith, despite the sadness of our loss, and be greatly comforted by looking forward to our reunion relatively soon with all those who have fully trusted in the Lord for their salvation and have gone on before us.
May God bless and comfort us as we put our full faith and trust in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the God of our fathers and mothers.
