GREETINGS FROM HEAVEN ❤

I was sitting here in heaven, and having a wonderful day. I started to think about you and all the things I never got to say...

I don't want you to worry about me, and please don't shed any tears... Because I will wait for you here in heaven, if it takes a hundred years...

Everything I had on Earth, I have in heaven too... My first day here my body became brand NEW...

It's really pretty here and I love my new home... Although my heart is broken because my old body's gone...

My love will always be there... As you go along the way... Just take a peek inside your heart... There is where I'll stay...

Dear Karen, please accept my sincere condolences to you and your family. You're in my heart and prayers. ONE-LOVE! ❤
