Mickey expressed faith in the Bible’s promise at Job 14:14,15, “If a man dies, can he live again? I will wait…until my relief comes. You, [Jehovah God] will call and I will answer you.” Mickey had faith in the resurrection and believed that she will live again under the paradise conditions promised in the Bible (Ps. 37:9-11).
