I know it must be fantastic being with Jesus! Although family and friends miss Mandy's contagious smile , we know that she is loving living in the Glory.
There is no impatience in heaven, and she is excitingly waiting for the circle to be unbroken. For the great joy set ahead! Love to Holly and the rest of Mandy's family and friends. The enemy ultimately loses.
