Our beloved Vicki is not in death's sleep - no, she has entered the final, glorious awakening! Such joy when our Master held her hand and led her home. A well spent day brings happy sleep, as a life well spent brings happy rest at death. Thank Heaven - the crisis and the danger is past, the lingering illness is over at last, and the fever called 'Living' is conquered. Vicki has taken the passage to true eternal life. We all love Vicki - without love, there is no grief. My heart goes out to you all in your grief but I rejoice with you as well when I remember where Vicki is and that we will all join her. Take care.
