I
love how anyone could connect to this quote because after someone close to
passes into Heaven; their lives may have ended here on Earth, but they continue
to live on in our hearts and memories. The first time I ever had experience
death, especially the death of TWO loved ones was in the year 2013. Both deaths
had happened around the winter holidays and for the last two years, it has been
tough trying to move on in our lives.
This is a copy of the Obituary:

Obituary
ends.
Tia
Sandra was the greatest aunt I could’ve wished for; she was funny, cool, and
was always in a bright mood. She could me anyone smile and laugh, and her
sales always were fun to go and buy little knick-knacks and spend time with
her. I….really, really, really miss her, and to watch her slip away little by
little made me feel guilty for those days I hadn’t spent time with her. I
pray that she`s doing well in Heaven; smiling like she always was.
Grandma
Josie was a sweet woman. Because of her medical history, my grandmother was
always in either a wheelchair or in her bed. I didn’t have much time to bond
with her, but with the time I did have made it all worthwhile. She was a
smoker, like many in my family, and she loved the holidays and her novellas.
Every time we would go and visit, there was always a different dramatic
novella playing, and when I was much smaller, I would watch some with her. Of
course, I wouldn’t understand the Spanish audio, but would interpret the
shocked faces with the dramatic music. I miss those days….and I miss her, oh
so very much.
My they both Rest In Peace and in Heaven
