My Journey "On Earth"

It was beautiful as long as it lasted, the journey of my life. I have no regrets whatsoever, and yes, everyone will be missed. Those dear hearts who loved, cared and gave their whole heart, the strong arms that held me up when my own strength let me down...

At every turning point of my llfe, I came across good friends and family who stood by me, even when time raced me by. I am home in Heaven now, my dear ones; oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty in the ever lasting light. All the pain and grief for me is over; I am at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last...

There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand, do it now, while life remains in you and you shall rest in God's own land. When your work is completed, He will gently call you home; oh the rapture of that meeting and I will be waiting for you at the gates to greet you as you come...
