Dearest Mother, Today marks One Year, since that night where we read Scripture, I massaged your Body. We then both knew who was sitting beside your bed! Jesus Our Savior, and Redeemer, was getting ready to take your hand, and take you Home to the "The Kingdom of Heaven" to be with the Lord in Eternal Paradise forever! No more pain, suffering, or ever having to say goodbye again! This gives me peace to carry on. I did not fully realize, until you were called...
