If you could see me now, you wouldn't shed a tear. Though you may not understand why I'm no longer here. Remember my spirit, that's the real me. I'm still very much alive, oh if you only could see! Allow Jesus to be your guide, His word will show you the way. So please don't cry! WE WILL MEET AGAIN SOMEDAY. Until then, keep me in your heart, for I'll always be your guardian angel and we'll never be far apart. Love you all, Mom, Maw Maw, and Tammy.
