Sorry for the absence

My father-in-law passed away last week after about three months of declining health. He and my mother-in-law were married for 64 years. A Chinese friend of mine stated once, "So Christians are not afraid of death." At the time I fumbled a bit and replied that we should not be. My father-in-law is in the best place possible, but my mother-in-law still hurts as the other part of her is now gone. Perhaps I should have answered my friend something to the effect that the dying Christian has nothing to fear but those left behind will fear their loss. I know a lot of people are going to feel the loss of Hoyce Bailey.
