Comfort Quote by William Penn
![“[Tho]ugh death be a dark passage; it leads to immortality, and that is recompense enough for suffering of it. And yet faith lights us, even through the grave…And this is the comfort of the good, and the grave cannot hold them, and they live as they die. For death is no more than a turning of us…” quote by William Penn](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/75a/william-penn-1104_comfort_tho-ugh-death-be-a-dark-passage-it-leads_2782573.jpg)
