Please say I did my best, I tried to do what was right, to give tl1e most I could, not to do less. Don't be concerned about me now, I'm well witl1 God. I have made it home. Don't talk about what could have been, it's over and it's done. just see to my family needs; the battle has been won.
Thank God for all who loved me. Thank God that He loved me best, for my soul is at rest
