Revelation 14:13
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."
"Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.

[Editor's commentary: This Scripture verse from the last book in the Bible has come to pass for my dear wife, Melvine Stewart Morgan, 85, who departed this life and arrived in heaven on Friday, January 17, 2020, at 4:49 p.m.
when she breathed her last breath, and was in heaven at that very moment.
The Lord of Glory, Jesus Christ, answered my prayers concerning Melvine. I asked the Lord to allow me to keep her at home through her sickness with stage 3 ovarian cancer. She lived for sixteen months, and the last 4 months I was able to get her on Hospice Home Care. Of course, Dr. Jane Huang, Melvine's oncologist made the referral that made it happen. What a blessing St. Mary's Hospice Home Care was for Melvine. God gave us nurses, social workers, physical therapists, occupational therapists, certified patient assistants, and a chaplain. What an outstanding team they were to Melvine, Greg, and me. We couldn't have asked for any better people to care for our cherished first lady in our home, my faithful and loyal wife, the mother of our children, and my partner in a life of ministry in the church, the Air Force Chaplaincy, the wife of a college president, president of Women's Ministries in Georgia, and a Gospel singer. We have so many wonderful memories of our family, the church family, the college family, and the Air Force family.
Time will reveal the blessing Melvine was to so many people, especially young people. Melvine was a marvelous pastor's wife whom God called her to fulfill, a gifted singer and a talented teacher who made learning a lot of fun and filled with laughter.
Melvine is resting from her labor and her many deeds will now follow her.
