But death cannot scare everyone, though it may try, it can't.
Death cannot scare Sister Hartley.
Death cannot scare animals. (Unless it's Bambi...)
Death cannot scare zombies.
Death cannot scare believers.
Death cannot scare my brother.
But mostly,
Death cannot scare Sister Hartley.

She is a woman in my ward, and she knows her time is coming, maybe within the week, if she's lucky, she'll get 2 years. She's not planning on the later though.
Why doesn't it scare her?
Maybe because she knows it's coming,
Maybe because she's brave as crap.
Maybe because she's ready.
Maybe because she's finished her work here, and she knows it.
Maybe because death is not a mystery to her, she knows what's going to go down after she leaves this life, the mystery is what scares the rest of us is it not?
It could be all that,
Wanna hear a secret? Why I think she's not afraid of the one thing that most mortals fear most?
Because she knows where she's headed.
She knows what she'll find after she's dead,
She knows who she'll find.
She knows what she'll do,
and she's told me.
She'll walk up to The One who sent angels to bear her up,
The One who never left her side, who held her hand, and when he could no longer hold her hand,
guided her by the shoulders.
The One who smoothed her paths so she would not fall,
And The One who's saved us all.
She's not afraid of death because she meets it with excitement and anticipation.
She'll run to The One,
She'll hug him and she'll say,
We did it.
