But I would not have you to be ignorant,brethren,concerning them which are asleep,that ye sorrow not,even as others which have no hope.For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.1Thess.4:13-14 God has smile on u and he has set u free from the cares of this world and u have made your peace with God.Your favorite song amazing grace you once was lost but now you are found blind but now you truely see.To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.Love u much and I will miss you.Sarah your special caregiver
