“I will miss you sweet William, but know we will meet again. You said that you wanted your next vacation to be “Jerusalem.” And I John saw the holy city, NEW JERUSALEM , coming down from God out of heaven ………. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21 . PRECIOUS in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints (those who belong to God by grace through faith.) Psalm 116:15”
