Very soon one of this world's best men will take his leave to be with Jesus.  My dad is facing the end of his life in the next few hours or days.  I'm reminded of John Donne's words 
DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so...
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.


There is comfort in the words of the Lord given through the apostle: “O death, where is your victory?    O death, where is your sting?” (1 Cor. 15:55)
