She didn't die without a verb

You may recall (or not) I've written a poem about the obituaries--and how sad it is that some die without a verb. Pastor Petersen at Redeemer Lutheran in Fort Wayne knows his scripture and his verb phrases

". . . reported that Vivian has been relieved of this life's burdens and gone early to the reward of faith in Jesus Christ. She has come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord."

It doesn't mean her parents aren't grieving. I have two sons buried in Illinois; wish I'd known then what I know now. But the resurrection is coming.
