Yesterday

My heart is broken by my Aunt's passing however I have faith she is with the dear Lord and her beautiful daughter and loving husband. Aunt Shirley was a wonderful person who went out of her way to help others. I find peace knowing that she is no longer suffering. RIP my beautiful lady until we meet again.
