My friend Yuri

My friend Yuri passed away on the 19th of May of terminal stomach cancer. Yuri passed into eternity without any noticeable pain. I’m thankful that I had the opportunity to spend the last 3 weeks visiting Him. Yuri had a great attitude, and I never saw him complain once during our visits. Most of the time together I would just read scripture to him and pray with him. On my last visit he was very weak, and it would be 2 hours after the visit that Yuri passed.

1Corinthians 15:51-55: "Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed--in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory." "O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?"
