This morning we attended the funeral of Alan Isaac Tay the 32 year old son of Josephine and Edward Tay at their home in KL then at the Chinese cemetary about one hour from KL. It was very hard to comprehend this young man's untimely death leaving behind a grieving wife, six month old son and 24 year old brother. Josephine said that the burial plot was one she had bought for herself, now her lovely son resides in it. I am so glad for the Gospel Plan of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that allows me to uderstand that this life is just a journey to mortality to gain a physical body and knowledge then to return to the Spirit world where we are taught again about our Savior Jesus Christ and meet our loved ones who have preceeded us. To rest from our earthly labours.
We travelled to their house Wednesday night and sang hymns for the assembled family and morners, again we sang hymns during the service then at the grave side. How this familiar music comforts us, I am so glad to have this in my life.
