"Please don't grieve overly much for me. Don't focus on your personal loss but rejoice that I am no longer troubled with sickness or pain but enjoying the glory of Heaven. I will be there waiting to welcome each and every one of you when your time comes, so make sure you are living in the center of God's will, having accepted Christ as your personal Savior, so you will be able to join me in being with Him forever. Think of it, we will never have to be apart, ever again. I pray that God will comfort and take care of you when I am gone and that you will all be closer to each other than ever before through this experience. And sorrow not as those who have no hope but rejoice and look forward to our reunion. " - Nancy
