You'll ne'er be forgotten though you passed away, the deeds you 've left behind will live on each day. We didn't want to give you up--Sleep , sleep on, take your rest. This act of God we dare not question , for he alone , knows best.

Psalms 24: 1-2.
Again, in love, God in his infinite wisdom, has taken a human spirit into flight from our midst. Although our love one will be sadly missed, the family, through their faith, find comfort in their thoughts by known he is experiencing no more pain or sorrow, but being now at eternal rest. This is emphasized by our-wise and loving God illustrating that none is superior to His call which is common to all of mankind .
