Carole, DJ's Mom, read these passages from the Bible to me. Carole said these words have special meaning to her.

From The Wisdom of Solomon, Salvation of the Righteous

⁷ But the righteous man, though he die earily, will be at rest.

⁸ For old age is not honored for length of time, nor measures by number of years

⁹ but understanding is gray hair for men and a blameless life is ripe old age.

¹⁰ There was one who pleased God and was loved by him, and while living anong sinners he was taken up.

¹¹ He was caught up lest evil change his understanding or guile deceive his soul.

¹² For the fascination of wickedness obscures what is good, and roving desire perverts the innocent mind.

¹³ Being perfected in a short time, he fulfilled long years;

¹⁴ for his soul waws pleasing to the Lord, therefore he took him quickly from the midst of wickedness.

¹⁵ Yet the peoples saw and did not understand, nor take such a thing to heart, that God's grace and mercy are with his elect, and he watches over his holy ones.
