"All my days on this earth, all my struggles and fears, I gave all glory and honor to God.
"My flesh was weak, but my goals and desire was that I had come to know and serve Jesus.
"Let every struggling heart know that through Jesus there is hope.
"I have entered into the Kingdom and am forgiven and now rest in peace in the arms of Jesus."
