Dear,Mrs. Shirley on 1-31-18,I watched you snore so,went off to work,not knowing that,10:40 am,you left this world to meet Jesus. I knew you where at peace and ready to go away,about three days pior in our conversation.I didn't expect to see you depart just yet,I knew all the stories that you heard me tell you,about the kingdom of god would help you in find the pathway to salvation.Rest in Peace and Enjoy your reunited life and new body in Christ,Where now you see there is no more pain and suffering.When your life past away everything flashed about your past, God saw your heart was kind and sincere not like hearts you encounter in this life,so enjoy the boat rides and wine vineyards of paradise with Horace,Chad Sr,Linda,Jesus. Amen
