One thing that gives me great comfort is the fact I know Auntie is with the Lord. I have no doubt about this because of our many conversations regarding our relationship with God. She and Uncle shaped me in so many ways, and all of them good. She will always have a special place in my heart. I miss her, but I know angels belong with God.
