“With
the death of a young person, we are conscious of what will never be.
When an older person dies, they take a whole world with them. Millions
of experiences end in an instant. Voices that won’t be heard again.
Sights that die with the dead.”
— Michael Gerson, columnist, writing about his mother’s death
That’s how I feel about Uncle Fred Crain’s recent death at age 92. He told me stories about “the old days.” He took that world with him, except for accounts I wrote down. I wanted to hear more, but he’s no longer with us, here. I plan to see Uncle Fred in heaven because of the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Uncle Fred confessed belief in Jesus Christ. So do I.
