Karen, my heart goes out to you during this time of grief. You have been generous in sharing your life with us and now we share the enormity of your loss.


The Door That Never Closes

There's a door that never closes,
though it opens but one way-
It's the door that leads to Heaven
at the end of life's long day.
It's the threshold of forever
where the heart is always glad,

It's a respite for the weary
and a comfort for the sad.
It's the door to peace and healing
and the door to joy and grace
Where the Master greets each quest by name
and with a warm embrace.

And the loved ones who pass through
into the light that's shining there
Find a sweet and perfect home
within our Father's loving care.
