Roger & Family, The Bible says "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord," and I hope that brings you comfort. I believe your Mother has a brand new spiritual body and is in the presence of our Lord, but it also says we will all be together again soon. So right now, I will join many of your other family members, friends, and schoolmates... and pray for God to bless you with an extra measure of comfort, strength, and mercy during this painful time.
