If we depart in this way,nothing should keep one worrying for we are told to be spiritually prepared for death comes like a thief unsuspectedly.earthly life ends and spiritual life begins.We should choose while we are unsuspecting.blessed are those who shall not taste death till JESUS comes.
So Sorrowful
