the mission that God sent her on.When her body ceased to function she
sprouted her angel wings and flew into heaver. There she will see us
when our turn comes. We will run to her and embrace her in love. She
will wrap her angel wings around as in a cocoon of love and we will fly
into heaven where we will live happily ever after.
