Tell them

Good friend of mine is now mourning the death of his mom. I know that he told her of God's love and the saving grace of Jesus. She made her decision, and only God knows what the outcome is.
Today, I watched as a family planned a funeral for their sister. It was pretty obvious that she didn't know Jesus. I had an immediate gut reaction, TELL THEM! A gut reaction placed in me by the Holy Spirit: "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
There's no "do overs" with eternity. People may only have one chance to hear. But am I taking advantage of that chance and telling them? 
Sobering.
