Changed, not ended

"Indeed, for your faithful, Lord, life is changed, not ended. . . ."

"Tuis enim fidelibus, Domine, vita mutatur, non tollitur. . . ."

     Preface (Vere dignum) to the Order of Mass for the Dead.  1 Cor 15:52 reads inmutabimur.  Tollo can mean also removed, killed, destroyed, done away with, abolished, as in the Thomistic axiom "grace does not destroy nature but perfects it."
