Jason that's a good reflection. Ah the time at Good Shepherd was not wasted :)

It’s not very pleasant to think about death. If we were not people of faith, recalling our departed loved ones would bring us nothing but sadness. We’d see their passing as “affliction” and “utter destruction” (Wisdom 3:2-3). There would be nothing beyond this life to offer us any consolation and encouragement—all we could really say is, “When you’re dead, you’re dead!”
But as Christians, we know that such an attitude has no place in our hearts. Especially today, on this feast of All Souls, God is inviting us to put aside sadness and share in his joy. As today’s first reading tells us, all those who have left this world in the friendship of God are in the hands of a loving Father. Sorrow and tears can no longer touch them; they are at peace now because all their questions have been answered, and they can live with Jesus forever.
All of us should take a moment to remember friends, family members, and acquaintances who are no longer with us. we recall all the things you loved about each of them. Recall the kindnesses they showed you, and the times you laughed and cried together. Thank God for bringing them into your life, and for the work they did in building his kingdom. Praise him for the ways they are still influencing you, even now.
Let’s pray that all of our departed loved ones experience the fullness of joy in God’s presence. Imagine them dressed in white robes, standing before the throne of God. Picture them praising and worshipping Jesus with all the choirs of angels, in the company of all the saints. What a beautiful song they must be singing as they behold their Creator, Savior, and Lord!
