It is with mourning (Matthew 5:4) for a very dear loved one, but spiritually speaking, a great joy for Ruth Fancey Daley at the moment of her human death on Tuesday March 8, 2022, when she was escorted to Paradise in the 3rd Heaven (2 Corinthians 12:2) by her angels (Hebrews 1:14) to be welcomed by her ever-loving Savior, Jesus Christ, (John 3: 1-16) and her saved relatives and friends (Hebrews 12:1) to enter in for eternity and receive her new everlasting spiritual body (1 Corinthians 15:35-58) where there is no more sickness, no more pain, no more tears, no more sorrow, never crying again, and no more death. (Revelation 21:1-7) .

(2 Timothy 2:15)
