A TIME TO MOURN - BE STILL IN THE LIGHT of my presence, while I communicate love to you. There is no force in the universe as powerful as MY LOVE. You are constantly aware of limitations: your own and others'. But there is no limit to MY LOVE; it fills all of space, time and eternity

Now you see through a glass, darkly, but someday you will see my Face to Face. Then you will be able to experience fully how wide and long and high and deep is MY LOVE for you is. If you were to experience that now, you would be overwhelmed to the point of feeling crushed. But you have an eternity ahead of you, absolutely guaranteed, during which you can enjoy My Presence in unrestricted ecstasy. For now, the knowledge of my presence is sufficient to carry you through each day.

Her legacy of love, laughter, and selflessness will continue to live on in the hearts of those who cherished her.
