Inspirational Thoughts
Don't spend too much time in mourning, tears are for the sand. /left to be with Jesus and this should make you feel glad.
Don't waste your hours in grieving, tw need to feel distress. I am tired of life's frustrations, and had to get some rest.
Don't vex yourself with questions or try to reason why, life here for me has ended, it was my time to die.
Don't lose the love I gave you, feed it with your care. Grow it with devotion and spread in everywhere.
Don't fret because my leaving came in such a way. We will have another meeting in God's eternal day.
