Mark 15:37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. Last winter, Jacob, a native assistant of mine, was summoned to his rest. On the day before his death, having been asked how he felt, he replied, "I shall not rise from this bed again. I am called hence to the Lord." He then raised his arm, stretched it out, and said, "Look! my arm is nothing but bones and skin; it is the same with my earthly body. The flesh is dead within me; my desire is fixed on my heavenly country — that country where I shall behold Him who loves me, and whom I love. Yes, I shall see Him shortly." When asked whether he feared death, "Oh, no," he answered, "how can I love Christ and fear death? How can death affect me? The death of Christ was the death of Death!" (J. Kogel, Greenland.)
