In spite of our deep sense of loss, the Scriptures tell us, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints” (Psalm 116:15). In some providential way, our loss becomes gain to the Kingdom of God. Each person in these memorial pages took a step of risk and obedience to God’s leading in their lives. That step always demonstrates an abandonment to God, a removal of all previous conditions we might have tried to impose. When a life is truly available then we can be sure that God will never squander his most precious belongings. When that live is invested into Eternity, even though it might seem untimely and premature, it will bear lasting fruit.
