    I hope that you are blessed with the comforting feeling I have, which is a strong belief that there is definitely more to come.

    A friend of mine's wife died of cancer about 15 yrs. ago, and her funeral is the only one I have ever been to. I liked it, and am pasting the experience for you to read.

    Hope you like it.

    I used to work with a fellow who's wife died of lung cancer, though she was a nurse who never smoked. It was less than a year from diagnosis till she was gone. Around a month before she passed on she told him that she was going to send him some kind of a sign. He is a very honest, family-oriented, devout Catholic. Then, from her hospital bed a week before she passed on, she told him she knew what the sign would be....lightning.
    I have only been to one funeral in my life, hers, and it was at 1PM at St. Anne's Church. As we arrived it was pouring out, really hard, the sky was low overcast thick clouds, and it was dark like twilight. We sat down, and got settled in, and then boom, thunder, and the lights in the church went out for a couple of minutes. Kelvin told me that when the thunder struck, he looked at his watch and it was 1 o'clock on the dot.
    After the funeral, we came outside to find that there was not a cloud in the sky, I swear. Everything was soaking wet, and dripping, and the sun was shining in a clear blue sky.

    I thought that was really cool, and that you might like it, and I hope it eases some of your fears.
    I have zero fear of death, but I already had that before the funeral, since I was about 18 or so.
    In the 22 years since, the sense of fear has diminished steadily.....I now have a curiosity about it instead..........but do not get me wrong........I can wait......I am in no hurry at all.
    But when I do go, I feel that so many things I have wondered will be answered, and many of them I feel will not be answered til then.
    Just my belief.
