This celebration of life is not our goodbye for our beautiful Beulah; it is simply a kiss and a hug—goodnight! For in that great morning when the Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, the dead in Christ will rise first! (1 Thessalonians 4:16) For death cannot hold us captive, even in the grave; Jesus is Lord!
