I did not know Elwyn but am so sorry to hear about this death. The death of someone loved may be one of the hardest things to cope with. Jesus made this wonderful promise: John 5:21,28,29- "For just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to. Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment." We have the hope of seeing the ones we love again. My thoughts are with the family.
