Remember, this earth is just an airport terminal in all of our live's, and God is the only one who has control over our arrivals and departures. However, even though life can be cut short. Family, remember short lives always leaves us with valuable memories. Therefore, combine those memories with our God's grace and in time, life will help ease the pain. Because, love has no boundaries even in death.
