Condolences to Rita’s family. We can look forward to the promise at Isaiah 33:24 – “no resident will way, I am sick”. Our enemy death, will be swallowed up forever (Isaiah 25:8). When these promises are fulfilled, we will enjoy life the way our Grand Creator purposed for us…forever. (Psalms 37:11, 29)
