Isn't that the truth. One can only hope that she made her peace with Him before she left and it's too late, but judging from her last commentary, I doubt it.
Maybe while she suffered from cancer, she sought her Maker and His forgiveness, but I too, doubt it. We will not know, and it isn't up to us to judge. Our job, our commission, is to preach His name to everyone we meet. The Holy Spirit is the One responsible for giving the gift of faith and belief. The thief on the cross did nothing righteous in his whole life, but found salvation nailed to a cross. You don't have to do good works to be saved, but you must believe before your last breath. If you are still referring to the Lord of the universe as "the man upstairs", you probably haven't been "born again". There are many people that don't want to be considered an atheist, but don't want to be "one of those wacko fundamentalist's" either. When you are "born again" you can't help being a fundamentalist, extremist, radical, because that's what Jesus is, and His Spirit lives in us.
