"During your journey on your final flight home, white wings will carry you and you will be flown. To the pearly gates of Heaven where they will usher you in, to the feet of your Lord, your Saviour and your Friend. He will hold you in His arms and the angels will sing, as another one of His children is delivered by white wings."
