How many positive aspects are there in regards to death in general? I think someone had the answer, but they took it with them when their "library burned down."

I realized it was an odd question when I typed it.
So, without being crass, in several ways, the deaths of these men and women of God is good, maybe even necessary.
Most of the men and women of God of this late generation have not left us without some record of how they lived and what they believed.
There is a record of their wisdom somewhere-- even if it has to be mined out of the minds of spiritually fat Christians who depended on the "holy man" to always "give them that word."
Now that these mighty men and women of God are leaving us, many are already gone, maybe those that remain will become more precious to us.
Maybe the same fire that sparked the mighty to be mighty will light in someone else, now that the older mighty ones are leaving.
Whatever happens, their deaths is not a cause to be sad.
It is a time to be joyful.
It is a time to seek the face of God.
It's a time to let someone know how much you love and appreciate them.
Do it soon, and more often.
