"There remaineth therefore a rest..."

We printed out this picture I took of Mirian one day when Shanell, April and I went to visit her. It's in the post Sunday Afternoon Ministry. We took it and placed it upon the coffin.

Here's another one from that day:

Lucas, Mirian's brother, asked me to take a picture of Mirian in her coffin. I would not have done so otherwise.

Here is the coffin with her picture on it: If you've ever seen someone's body, someone who died from cancer, then, well...many people found her corpse disturbing. The upper jaw is exposed and the eyelids are not completely closed.

(The light bulb hanging above my head is reflected in the glass in the picture above. So are the pictures on the wall. Sorry bout that.)


The calendar reflecting in the glass of her coffin. Life is short. Time is precious. We are here for but a lifetime. In heaven, we'll have an eternity. Use your time wisely.

My mom wrote something about Mirian. Go here to read it: ~Some thoughts on Mirian's Life~
