As Brother Dan mentioned very eloquently yesterday…

“Sometimes death comes as the enemy, a thief in the night” — bringing hurt, pain and suffering.

“But sometimes death comes as a friend” — bringing mercy, relief and an end to suffering.

Yet whenever and however death comes, it leaves behind a gaping hole in those left behind.

“Naked I came from my mother’s womb, naked I’ll return to the womb of the earth.
God gives, God takes. God’s name be ever blessed.” – Job 1:21

Thomas Lehmann – Feb 11, 1947 – March 23, 2006
