You committed yourself to those who benefited from your help. You made the world a better place and we are all the better for your having served among us. Like your fiancé, family and friends, I mourn your passing but am thankful that you suffer no longer. Way too early. Rest In Peace. May all who mourn you know that you are now without pain and that your many contributions to them will be a long remembered and cherished legacy to live in and through their lives. Goodbye faithful one.
