Many of our Elders in Our Community have passed after a long life. Some have been challenged with battling Cancer or Alzheimer's Disease or other results of aging. Some of your youth have rushed to the end of their earthly lives by accidents or illness of one type or another. Death is a part of life this is actually the natural out come of life itself.

For those who are touched by this occurrence, all face a void in their lives, grieve the absence of association with those whom have passed on. It is for the living we who are friends and family must arise and comfort. It is Family and Community that support the living. It is Family and Community that have the duty to edify each of its members by each endeavor be it personal action or business venture.

Those of strong faith such as the Amish in Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania are exemplars of their faith beliefs and steadfastness to community and perserverance. May we all strive regardless of our religion to be striving for such grace as individuals and as a community. For those who provide care taking for the hours, weeks, months and at times years as our loved ones transcend from this existence to the next should be accounted and respected as being those who contribute the humanity to our society, and community. Not all of us are willing or able to sacrifice our sense of self to be of service to others this way.

Evil will pass into nothing.

Goodness is Steadfast, for this is our transitory state of being all this we perceive as real is temporary. May we all be aware of our Highest Calling and Service to Others and Community.
