She was left us, her spirit has died; her body now slumbers along with the dead, but to her we know a place is given, amoung the saints with Christ in heaven.
Now the family circle is broken but our loss is Heavens eternal gain, and we will meet her over there where sorrow and suffering are unknown and be reunited again where where there will be no more parting and God shall wipe away all tears. A bereaved family.
