They say that only good men die and that you're not meant to speak ill of the dead. I wonder why that is; if a person didn't live well then shouldn't we be telling others so that they don't repeat the same mistake? I can understand that we don't want to offend and hurt those who are mourning their loved ones but once person has passed all the opportunities we had to tell them the truth are gone. We can try make ourselves feel better and say lovely things about them or we can speak the truth in love hoping that those present at the funeral will choose to walk differently and choose eternal life that is Jesus Christ.
