 At one point, while she seemed to be unconscious, someone in the room suggested that it would be happier if she could die in her native country instead of in that unfamiliar place. And in fact, she had in the past prepared her own tomb next to that of her husband, insisting that she should be buried there with him. But suddenly she spoke and told those around her, put this body anywhere. Don't trouble yourselves over it. The only thing I ask is that you remember me at the altar of the Lord, wherever you may be. In fact, as Augustine later discovered, some time before that day, her friends had asked her whether she would be afraid to leave her body so far from her own city. Nothing is far away from God, she replied, and I needn't be afraid that at the end of the world he will know where I am lying to raise me up.
