and she is dead.

Apparently you don't believe in the Gospels. She is alive! See for yourself:

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.(John 3:15-16) [See also:1 Cor. 15:22; Rom 5:12-21, among others]

There is a difference between physical and spiritual life. Even the most ignorant in scripture knows this. You are mixing the two as if they are one in the same. That is deciet.

You are correct, she IS alive with Christ --- but she is NOT HERE (on earth) interceding on our behalf and neither is Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Daniel, Apostle John, Peter, Mary, etc.

So why pray to any of "them"? Just pray to Jesus who IS here!
