Very simple, I would have said, We all have sinned and come short of God's glory. I cannot judge our beloved brother/sister because I am only here because of God's grace and mercy. Everyone's life has its high points and low points, but through God's restorative power, the low points don't last always. Can I get a witness.
Our beloved brother/sister was not a believer/saved (whatever term you want to use) so I want to make sure that no one here ends up like the dearly departed. The only way to heaven us through God and his son. If anyone wants to come to know God for himself, I will be glad to lead you that way.**However if the deceased had at some point in his life accepted Jesus as his saviour, no matter how far off the Christian lifestyle road he had got off, then I believe he will be in heaven.**
