As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Hey Cuz,
I too, will miss your voice, I will miss the fellowship we had as a family, and how we grew together and grew closer as a family. I will also miss how you embraced others and celebrated life. As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, Im experiencing a dichotomy. On the one hand, my heart is so heaving with an indescribable grief. For the last two months, as the Apostle Timothy would say, I saw you being poured out as a drink offering however, I didnt realize that your departure would be this soon at hand. On the other hand, Im so glad for you, because Ive also witness how youve enjoyed, Being a Soldier, In the Army of the Lord. Im glad for you because youve fought a good fight, you have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for you the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to you on that day, and not only you, but also to all who have loved His appearing.

If we could hear you today, I believe this is what you would say, Please dont say that I gave up, just say I gave in. Dont say I lost the battle, for it was Gods war to lose or win. Please dont say how good I was, but that I did my best. Just say I tried to do what was right, to give the most I could, not to do less. Dont be concerned about me now, Im well with God, Ive made it home.

Sheila M. Braithwaite, 66 years of age quietly and peacefully answered the call of her Heavenly Father. She boarded glory train number 2018, car number 11 and seat number 3 and the train moves on.
