Teresa Daniel says
To our dearest beloved Kim,
When the wind blows
Knowing our Father’s love, to you He holds
With every thought, I will feel your spirit
While you road to heaven on a holy chariot.
God craddles you as a newborn baby being held for the very first time,
He comforts you, while you snuggle in his arms, knowing thT everything is fine.
When the gates of heaven opens
You will walk through those doors being a great heavenly addition
You will be resurrected to see all your family and friends
When all the former things have passed away
A new heaven and a new earth will be born to stay
We really had some good times together
You were not just a cousin, you were my spiritual sister.
We had many deep conversations
Your view point on life was a sensation.
In many ways, your sense of humor helped me grow stronger with acceleration
You were one of a kind
And will always be on my heart and MI d.
You were one of the most selfless persons that I’ve known
You shared everything that you owned. I am ever so greatful to have known you
Your heart was pure and true
May God continue to show you grace and mercy and keep you by his side
Until we meet again my precious cousin and friend
Rest now, young sheep
May our Shepard, Christ Jesus,in his arms, you, He will keep.
With everlasting Love Teresa Daniel
Carolyn McInnis says
