Dear MawMaw,
I'll miss you deeply & love you always. I know in my heart that the Lord needed another soldier for his army of angels to protect us. The Lord has let me be strong enough not to be sad
but to rejoice for you, that's the way I know you would've wanted it. Everything we've done together in our lives I wouldn't change it for the world. I love you always & forever..
With lots of love,
Renee
