You were loved far more than our words can express. Equally as much, you will be missed. We are proud and glad for the years that we had together. We shared so many laughs and had so many fun times together. They will forever be in our hearts. Thanks can never be enough for all that you shared with us through the years. We will always cherish our memories with you as some of the best. You were there to listen through the good times and the bad. And we all went through those times either way, together... May you rest in peace now and may all who had the blessings of knowing you do the same. May all of our hearts rest knowing that you are no longer suffering. Thanks for being so strong even up til the end. Your strength is to be admired. You were a fighter and you gave it your best. You did that for all those around you even when you didn't feel like doing so. You were brave during your illness and continued to encourage and be an encouragement to so many around you. There are not enough words to express all that our hearts hold for you at this time, but truly you were loved. Again, thanks. Much love.

Death Angel, did you come and take my friend away?
Was it you who knocked at the door within her last few days? When we answered and no-one could
be found, was it you that came on in and didn't make a sound? Did you watch us care for her, and do everything we could; knowing that you'd
take her without a single word? Did you see how much we loved her, and hugged and kissed her face? She must have realized the, she's going to
a different place.
Did she see you standing there, with your arms
stretched open wide, waiting and watching to go to the other side? Did you send doves to her
window, to show us of God's love, and that he had
great plans for her waiting up above.
Thank you for helping my friend and showing her
the way; For we all watch and wait
Oh, what a glorious day.
