Do they know?

I made a list of all my students from 2012, and I put it in the middle of my Bible along with a bookmark a friend gave me from a country many of these friends are from (the bookmark, not the friend). I pray for them, and having the names helps me remember what these friends look like. I heard via facebook today that one of them has died. I never knew this man personally, outside of class. I have often wondered if any other of the people on my list have died, or disappeared. Where are they? What are they doing? Is their life good? Do they have everything they need? Do they know they are loved? Do they know Love? Do they have hope? Do they know the source of hope?
