"Our lives are, but a journey filled with paths we each will take our joys found in the love we give and friendship that we make. The roads we choose along the way provide a chance to see the beauty in each person's heart. Our fortunes aren't in what we have but now we think and feel and make others feel. It's caring for those close to us and sharing what is real. We don't understand why we have to say that last good-bye and let my loved one go, but we will forever hold the memories of you close at heart in your spirit will always be near."
"The Lord sure has been good to me."
