Memory eternal!

The pictures of the funeral are amazing. He is truly with God now and he is reunited with his holy Elder Joseph the Hesychast.

yeah he is, and let's also not forget Elder Arsenios the Cave-dweller, Elder Charalambos of Dionysiou, Elder Theophylactus, Elder Ephraim of Katounakia, and the other great Elders that little group produced who have since reposed.

memory eternal!

I agree, one cannot forget about the other Holy Elders that were with him.

I just found out from a monk I know that at the time of the Elder's falling asleep, he wasn't smiling but had his mouth open. They covered his face and when they returned about an hour later and removed the covering, they discovered the Elder smiling!

yeah, that happened to Lynette Hoppe too. when she reposed her face was in obvious pain, but after about a half hour her face shifted to a smile
