Wake Service - Wednesday

Uncle Rodney spoke.

A summary of what he said:

Yesterday when Raymond closed his eyes and fall asleep, he woke up in glory.

It's ok to weep, to cry and to grieve over Raymond's death.

God gave us tears for us to cry, and even Jesus wept over the loss of a loved one.

We mourn so that we don't forget.

We mourn to remember that Raymond loved not only his family and fiance, he loved God.

When Elijah was taken up to heaven, Elisha was sad.

All that's left behind was Elijah's cloak.

Elisha took the cloak, wore it, and pick up where Elijah left.

Likewise, let's not forget Raymond's dedication, love and work for the Lord and pick up where he left.

Raymond did not escape the unknown disease. But he has beaten the grips of the devil.

Finally, to all who ever knew Raymond,

Be there.

Cling to our faith and be there so that one day we'll all meet again.
