This is dedicated to Aunt Effie & Uncle Joe.....
A BETTER PLACE!
By Living here God prepares us for a better place,
For all the hardship we must face!
This is not a race,
To see who gets to first base!
God knows that we will trip, stumble, & fall,
We will even hit the wall,
But through this all,
We must stand tall,
And land with Grace!
Remember Jesus became human,
So that he could destroy the devil's power over death,
Jesus did this with every breath!
For this we need to no longer live in fear,
So don't shed any tears,
Let us cheer!
For our love ones have entered the doorway into eternal life!

To all of the Family I am so sorry to hear of Theresa's passing. She is now at peace and is suffering no more. She will be missed by all. We will miss all the laughs she gave us, the great fun, food that she brought to our lives. She will never be forgotten. Our prayers are with you all in this time of sorrow.
She is another angel sitting on your shoulders and watching over you all.
