My heart was so broken to her of the passing of a very blessed Person as Vine. I can still see and hear her walking that floors at Church when the spirit hit her. Just as her Father did back in the day.
In days to come, just think about the memeories and how blessed she was to be in your life.
As always

The sorrow of the faithful is not that of permanent loss, but the tender sense of sadness that comes in saying good-be for now to someone we love. May today's sorrow give way to the peace and comfort of God's love.

There is no sorrow that God can not heal. For all things work according to his holy will.
Vine is now with the angels, enjoying a new painfree body. We will all miss her as she touched each of us in a special way. God Bless each of you for her loving memories will always be with us. Be Blessed.
