''My journey has not been easy, but my faith has never fctltered. S ometimes we can't understand why things happen as they do, and sometimes the things that seem the worse, turn out to be the best. So think of this as just a time for me to rest. Dry your eyes and set me free, for my soul is at p eace. May it comfort you to know that I am in His care and we are all a part of God and God is everywhere. I am with you always. "
