Weep not for me, though I have gone into that gentle night. I am at PEACE and my soul is at rest. I thank God for the years He gave me with you, but my season in this world is over. I've fought a good fight, I've kept the faith, and I've finished the race. Remember the love that we once shared and in your memory I will live on. The family chain has once again been broken, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. I'll miss you, but in time, we will see each other again.
