I thank God for the time we have had together. Birdie, I know your work is through here on earth. You have done what God has asked you to do. It is hard for me to believe that God has taken you away from me, but He knows best.
Birdie, your love did not begin and end with us, your family. Your love reached out and, touched so many people's heart young, and old. They also saw you stand on the word of God. You knew the importance of giving and sharing. You did so with an open heart, and an open hand.
Birdie, you brought into my life a sense of purpose, you brought laughter, and a strong sense of family, unity, and security. God truly blessed me by allowing me to share my life with you. Birdie, the memory of your strength and fervent in life should serve as an example, as encouragement to any whose lives were touched b)' your presence.
I love you, Birdie.
