Dearest Sister,
The journey was long and arduous.
Which you traveled with great dignity.
Daylight descended into twilight then dusk and on to nightfall.
Then with the masterful giidance from above turned into dawn of another dimenson.In which there will be eternal peace and tranquility,that you so richly deserve.
As you soar to lofty heights,rejoice that your accomplishments are being celebrated.
The works of art you created from various mediums and bestowed onto others,are like a beautiful melody and are very much appreciated.
Also cherished are the memories of many gatherings you hosted as well as superb culinary delights we enjoyed.Especially your favorite holiday of Thanksgiving,into which you always put so much effort to make it a day we could all be thankful for.
Sister dear thank you for being a friend and confidante.I miss our weekly chats.
Until we meet again dear one, I will hold you in my heart.
With Love, Pat
