knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, s not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge,
it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is
come, then that whichis in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a
child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Our consolation comes when we remember that you are now in the presence of God, Beholding His wonderful Glory.
Although, we won't see you physically, we know that you will always be with us, for you are written across each of our hearts.
Mom, this is not goodbye, just "see you later" for we know that if we know Christ and live by the things that you have taught us, we will see you again.
We will always love you and forever you will be ... Mom. Your Children
