Cecil looked forward to the fulfillment of the scripture at Revelation 21:4 “ And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Until then he has “…fallen asleep” (1 Corinthians 15:6)
