"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23: 24
Everyone keeps saying it does not seem real that you are gone. God knows this is one time we wish we were wrong. It is going to be hard without you, but we are going to make it. Your spirit will forever be present in our lives. The life you lived was great indeed. Now it is up to us to sow your seed. We know not the hour, the year, nor day. However, The Lord has a time for all to go. Which is a time that none of us shall know. We will always remember your words of wisdom because of your love towards us during our good times and during our challenges. You have never failed to put God first. Thank you for the path you have set for so many of us. We are proud to have been a part of your life and you will be missed dearly.
Love You Always, Your Family
