The reason I was asking you two about the awareness of angels - in context of the saints in heaven - is that Jesus said we will be like angels.

So the question seemed to fit the initial question of "are the saints in heaven aware of us"...

Well angels are spirit creatures, and we will be spirit creatures, but because we will have gained heaven through the work of Jesus, we will be above the angels in glory.

The verse says that in the Resurrection we will be like angels in that we will not marry after the resurrection

It did not say that the saints are now like the angels.

Now, the fact is the Bible is silent on what the saints know about what is going on earth.

The one case that we have about someone in the afterlife talking about those still alive on earth was the rich man who was in torments.(Lk.16)

And when he asked that Lazarus be sent back, he was told that those alive had Moses and the Prophets.
