하늘에 계신 우리 아버지는 여러분이 겪고 있는 고통을 깊이 아십니다. 그분이 첫 번째 남자와 여자를 창조하셨을 때, 그분께서는 그들과 우리를 포함한 그들의 후손들이 병과 죽음의 고통 없이 영원히 살게 하려는 뜻을 품으셨습니다.
그분의 뜻은 변하지 않았습니다. 그분은 머지않아 우리 눈에서 슬픔의 눈물을 영원히 닦아내시고, 죽음이 더 이상 없을 날이 올 것이라고 약속하셨기 때문입니다.
그는 또한 당신의 사랑하는 사람들, 나의 사랑하는 사람들, 그리고 수많은 이들이 그의 목소리를 듣고 추모의 무덤과 묘지에서 나올 것이라고 약속합니다.
I loved Aunt Ina. She was so kind. My fondest memory was riding to Montana in her and Uncle Jim’s camper when I was 11 and sitting in back with Aunt Ina playing cribbage and eating fiddle faddle. This a a late comment and I don’t know if the family will receive it.
