I have not seen you in quite a few years, you were my sister-in-law. I loved you very much. Your heart was so full of love and kindness. I am and was so happy when you found JESUS and that still makes me so happy knowing you are now in Heaven with your lovely family and they are happy too, knowing you make it across to the other side. Bless your heart for being the kind of person you were while you were here with us.
