Tracy wanted to share these last words with you:
Crickets. Soft wind blowing thru the tall grass so near to the train tracks. The hidden steps, the private room, Sounds of the fairground in the distance..but yet, very close. This, my friends, is my greatest, fondest memory - My grandfathers house was my paradise. The cartoons, the sincere pure pie laughter, the magic, the Christmas's, the plays, the memes, the absolutely purely magical early heavenly times of my life.
My life turned even more magical when God looked down upon us and united Paul and I perfectly! Paul is my dream come true he is! For me, my lifelong dream! This was present heaven, my friends, this was our heaven.
Now, I am ecstatic to soar to a brand-new heaven! A calm home, tranquil and serene. I have always been blessed by this almighty Creator as I accepted God into my heart so many years ago and am so fortunate for eternal life.
I am eager to recognize all of my relatives, friends, and pets upon arrival to the golden gate.
Please don't be sad. I am very jubilant and overjoyed. I will always love you and will reunite with you again in everlasting life. Be righteous my friends, be good. I love you!
