Dear Family,
If you are reading this I have gone into the gentle night. Grieve if you must but not for long. Upon my soul's sweet flight I am at peace. There is no need for tears, for with your love I was blessed for all these many years. There is no pain, praise God, I suffer not! Put now these things out of your thoughts. In your memory I live on. Remember not my fight for breath, remember now the start. Please do not dwell upon my death, but celebrate my life! That is taken from a poet by Constance Jenkins.
Hope it helped and bless your hearts.
I have but one desire from all of you, is that one day when your time comes, you be ready to come be with me once again in heaven. Where we will never have pain! I am so thankful that God gave you all to me, as most all of you have touched my heart and life in so many different ways. I have ministered to you all as well.
I wanted to share this letter with all of you cause I wanted to just let all of you know that I am all right now, as a matter of fact I feel better than I have felt on Earth!
I am no longer in pain. I can take a good deep breath with ease. Oh thank God for that!
Well I will let you go for now and don't forget, live for God so that you too will come be with me forever and forever! God bless.
