OK, yes, I think that is the answer I was looking for. I'm middle aged now, and my memory is never what it should be...
If anyone else reads this, and you want to add anything else, please feel free to do so, because I'll still be checking the thread.
There's a passage in the bible that speaks of those that have passed praying for us in heaven. I think it's in Revelation. The Book of Psalms is also nice to read. I memorised Psalm 23 and never forgot it.
