[Nfbmo] Sharing our angel with the Lord

[Gary Wunder]

Today God received an earthly angel, leaving us the task of reconciling our
loss with her gain. Cora Underwood died shortly after two o'clock this
afternoon with Lawrence by her side. For so long Cora fought medical
problems that it has been hard for us to realize that the cancer she had was
something from which she could not rebound. No will or good cheer or
positive spirit, all of which she possessed in abundance, could stop her
passing. The pain she was enduring was evident, and God truly demonstrated
his mercy in sparing her more of it. We have all been so blessed by her
earthly presence that we must in some way feel and work through our grief
and let God transform it into gratitude for the person we were blessed to
know and love.
