May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. . .

Jessie Taylor, husband of Elsbeth, departed this life in faith today.  We lift up the family before the Lord even as we give thanks to the Lord who rescues us from death and bestows upon His children the gift of everlasting life.  He has fought the good fight of faith throughout four years of cancer and now, in Christ, he has won the battle and rests from his labors.  With him, we await the day of the Lord when He shall bring us and all the dead in Christ together and bring to completion all of His promises forevermore.  Arrangements are still being made.
