– Until we meet again, you will live on forever in our hearts.
“If you find yourself reflecting about me, take a walk in the country, feel the breeze, the sun, and the gentle rains. Soak in the smells and enjoy the sounds. On a hot, humid day, you really can hear the corn grow. Walk in the field, you’ll hear it crackle. At night, if you look to the sky, you’ll see the lights of heaven shining through the stars. Enjoy what God has given us.”
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away” Revelation 21:4
