To the Bowens Family: We are made in God's image-likeness; God is eternal, changeless and unchanging, and just as God could never cease to be, neither can we cease to be. There is no reality to what we call death; we only transition to Spirit form when we let go of the ego's need to be manifest through a body, and return to the Source and Giver of Life - God. My prayers are with you all as you go through your period of adjustment.
