Even though it pains me to say good-bye, I take comfort in knowing you are not suffering any longer. God makes no mistakes and lie lias called His "angel" liome. I will miss liearing your voice daily,your laugliing and yourpersistence when it came to worrying about me. I may liave strayed at times, but Mommy you prayed me up. Your unconditional love and constant prayers brought me through. I want to instill in my children the same values you instilled in me. I may cry sometimes and feel sad, but Mommy I m ok; you can rest. I know you are an angel looking over me. W e love you. You fought a good fight. Daddy and Tye are with me, and all of my aunts, uncles and the many godmothers you left me with. You were one of a kind. God has you now. Kiss grandma for me. I won't fuss at the kids so much. Rest Mommy. It hurts, but I am at peace knowing you are not
suffering any longer.
I Love You Mommy,

Don t grieve for me, for now I m free. I m following tlie p atli God laid for me. I took His liand wlien I lieard kim call; I turned nnj k ack and left it all. I could not stay anotlier day, to laugk, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay tliat way; I found tliat p lace at tlie close of day. If my parting lias left a void, tlien fill it witli rememkered joy. A friendsliip sliared a laugk, a kiss; all yes, tliese tilings, I too will miss. B e not kurdened w itli times of sorrow. I wisli you tlie sunskine of tomorrow. My life s keen full, I savored muck; good friends, good times, a loved ones toucli. Perliaps my tim e seems all to krief; don t lengtlien it now witli undue grief. Lift up your lieart and skare witli me, God w anted me now,
