Thank you so much for your responses to my questions. The information you gave me really does help a lot.

I have another question. Do you believe that all animals have spirits
which live on in the after-life, as we do? I'm hoping to be reunited in
Heaven with all my beloved pets who have died! I would think that because animals are incapable of sin, they would be allowed into Heaven. When my pets lavish such affection on me, I simply must believe that they have an eternal spirit, too!

Thanks,

Susan
