This quote was posted on a dear family's blog...whose mother is preparing to leave this earth life...
This is a quote stated by Elder Neal A. Maxwell...
Absolutely loved it...
"On the other side of the veil, there are perhaps seventy billion people. They need the same gospel, and releases occur here to aid the Lord’s work there. Each release of a righteous individual from this life is also a call to new labors. A mortal life may need to be “shortened” by twenty years as we might view—but, if so, it may be done in order for special services to be rendered by that individual in the spirit world, services that will benefit thousands of “new neighbors.” Those who have true hope understand this. Therefore, though we miss the departed righteous so much here, hundreds may feel their touch there. One day, those hundreds will thank the bereaved for gracefully forgoing the extended association with choice individuals here, in order that they could help hundreds there. In God’s ecology, talent and love are never wasted."
