[what's up]

If we remain human, then we do not cease to be part of mankind. A mother does not cease to be a mother by dying.

I'm not sure what your point is.

Who said anyone ceased to be part of mankind?

Mary too was part of mankind and is in Heaven along with all other saints. Since she is human she is not omniscient.

[RobbyS]

Our relationships do not end when we die. That is an inference from our profession to believe in the Church as the Communion of Saints.
