 “God is gracious to me and long-suffering towards me. There are so many memories that I have made and shared with family and friends that will bring many smiles, laughter, and a few tears. I leave a lifetime of memories that will be remembered by my "Love Bones": They are my heritage; Psalm 127:3 says, "Lo, children are a heritage of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”

She asks the family to continue in prayer and encouragement for one another. Continue to draw closer to God the Father through Jesus, his only begotten son, whereby we believe that he is the only way to our father, who created us. A Father who loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him (Jesus) shall not perish but have everlasting life. Don't forget to tell at least one person about how Jesus saved us from death and hell, and now we have eternal life after death with him. A place where He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.
