You have my condolences in the death of your loved one. It is truly a blessing to live a long life of 90 years! God blessed Vivian with special mightiness, as Psalm 90:10 tells us, “The span of our life is 70 years, Or 80 if one is especially strong.” By means of God’s Kingdom, he promises that we will live forever, in the near future (Psalm 37:29)
