Doctor Doug died

On July, 6th, 2016, I told you about Doctor Doug in this blog, a physician in our church. He died on December, 15th. He had a weak heart due to a Chagas disease - a tropical disease that inflates the heart. He had to change his mark step after a cardiac arrest. His kidneys stopped working and after many problems, he died.
He was loved by his family, his colleagues, his students, his church. I was told it was a big funeral. 
Is he with Jesus?
Yes, I think so.
He began to attend our church in his old age. Before that he thought that all religions are good, but Christianity talks about sin as the way to hell and Jesus as the way to heaven. 
His niece that does not attend our church, told us that before his conversion, doctor Doug was a good man but she did not find love or tenderness in him. He was a cold guy. She really hates the way evangelical people talk (I am saved, you are not, let me introduce Jesus to you), but she considered that something different happened to his uncle.
He knew he was dying much before this year. He was preparing to his death. For instance, he bought his grave in a cemetery some years ago.
