"When I stand before your throne, dressed in glory not my own,
what a joy I'll sing of on that day.
No more fears or broken dreams, forgotten is the minor key,
everything as it was meant to be.

And we will worship, worship
forever in your presence we will sing.
And we will worship, worship you,
an endless hallelujah to the king.

I will see you as you are
love you with unsinning heart
and see how much you paid to bring me home.
Not till then Lord shall I know
Not till then how much I owe.
Everything I am before your throne.

No more tears, no more shame, no more sin or sorrow ever known again.
No more fears, no more pain.  
We will see you face to face, see you face to face."
~  Matt Redman Endless Hallelujah

This song has been at the forefront of my mind and heart as my school and many others mourn the loss of our beloved instructional learning coach.  At 38 years old, she was flown to Louisiana for a liver transplant.  With great hope, she was first on the list.  The doctors found internal bleeding and her body responded by shutting down her organs.  Last Sunday she went to be with Jesus.  

I have thought of God's great delight welcoming her into heaven.  She was one of the people who carried me through my year in 5th grade.  Without judgement, she repeatedly came to my class to help me generate lessons to help my students.  She would teach, we'd teach together, and we'd brainstorm ways to help my learners.  Even this year in first grade, she sat down with me many times to sift through new curriculum.  The position may be filled, but there will never be a way to replace her.  Her legacy will live on in my school district for years through the lives of teachers and students she impacted.
