We grieve that she is absent from the body here on earth.  We rejoice that she is present with Jesus.  We are thankful that she had a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and we rejoice in knowing she is pain free, whole and restored, dancing and singing in Heaven.

"We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, concerning those who are asleep so that you will not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep."  I Thessalonians 4:13-14
