“Don’t think of her as gone away– her journey has just begun.
Life holds many facets – the Earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting, from the sorrows and the tears.
In a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days or years.
And think of her as living, in the hearts of those she touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost…and she was loved so much!”
