Sister, you are free of any pain, God loves you and I the same. When last I saw you alive, you held my hand. Tears ran down my cheeks when you finally called my name. I shall always cherish my memories of you and the love we shared between us two. Nancy and Tracy and family, may you find comfort in knowing how much your mom was loved. Love always, Auntie (Juanita S. Austin)
