May you fly high as the eagle and enjoy the climb for the Creator has you now.

May you feel the wind on your face and move with the swiftness of a Derby winner does.

Enjoy a swim in the waters with the feeling of joy only freedom from an earthly body can bring.

May you rest knowing you are remembered and reawake knowing we will meet again on the other side of the rainbow.

Watch over us now with love that only those who become angels can.

Bear hugs to you sister. You will be forever remembered and our time we had treasured and tucked safely away in my heart.
