"One door closes, while another opens wide into a world
of eternal joy, and splendor, inside. a sweet voice
calls as gentle, as ever a voice could "Welcome home thou
servant, faithful and good". The crowns are bestowed, to merciful and sweet, 
but are all then laid, at the King of Heaven's feet."

Christ has taught us that through His death, we have everlasting life. We are 
also aware that nothing on this earth is here to stay. All things come and all 
thing pass away. With the death of our beloved Rosa, our faith in eternal life 
with the Master must hold fast and be our guide.
