Barbara Jean Keen was a wonderful wife, mother, Nana, friend, and beautiful child of our King. While she will be sorely missed, we would never ask her to return from the splendor of the reward she has now.
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
