Dear Gail and Family,
My prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time. With deepest sympathy...
And if I should go before you,
Know that a part of me still remains.
You will not see me,
Yet I will be there walking beside you.
You will not touch me,
Yet I will live in your heart
And memory always.
Have faith that we will one day
Walk hand in hand in eternity.
Until then, live your life ~ for life is good ~
And know that I am with you.
