Death has been called "the new obscenity", the nasty thing that no polite person nowadays will talk about in public.  But death, even when unmentionable, remains inescapable.  The one sure fact of life is that one day, with or without warning, quietly or painfully, it is going to stop.  How will I, then, cope with death when my turn comes? (J.I.Packer, "Growing in Christ")

John Preston said, "I shall change my place, but I shall not change my company."
