To Mom and Dad; thank you for the years of nurturing and teaching me to be an adult. To my husband and children; I am healed, and I am alright as I so often would say. To my loving sister; I know how you feel, but it’s okay because I’m okay. I know you all thInk I left too soon, God had already laid his path out for my life’s journey. I left with a smile and peaceful heart knowing where my soul will rest. It is okay to cry. I know that the eventually the tears will be joyful memories we once shared. I traveled the path that God set before me and at the end of my journey, stood God with outstretched arms. See you all again one day as you stay on the path to Glory.
