Betty Jean (Kendall) Christian

Christianity ensures triumph over death. When a Christian pulls off the mortal clothing and puts on the immortal, they are happy because they are going to a place where they can see their pilot face to face. A place that is beautiful, a place of eternal love; a place where all is forever well.
