On this day Doris Morris passed from death to life and not without a courageous battle with cancer. At age forty-seven there was much in this place to yet be lived out. Sorrow for those who will walk without her is ever present and yet Doris wins. She has arrived at the home she will live in forever and forever.
Forward lies the crown
"In our Christian pilgrimage it is well, for the most part, to be looking forward. Forward lies the crown-and onward is the goal. Whether it is for hope, for joy, for consolation, or for the inspiring of our love-the future must, after all, be the grand object of the eye of faith.
Looking into the future, the Christian sees sin cast out, the body of sin and death destroyed, the soul made perfect, and fit to be a partaker of eternal glory. Looking yet, the believer's enlightened eye can see death's river passed. He sees himself enter within the pearly gates, hailed as more than conqueror, crowned by the hand of Christ, embraced in the arms of Jesus, glorified with Him, and made to sit together with Him on His throne."
Charles Spurgeon
