1 Corinthians 15:20-22 - "The truth is that Christ has been raised from death, is the guarantee that those who sleep in death will also be raised. For just as death came by means of a man, the rising of death comes by means of a man. For just as all people die because of their union with Adam, in the same way all be raised to life because of their union with Christ."
May you rest in peace, Gen. You are now free from sickness.
