You went home to be with God. And your loved ones. Your body had all it could take. Your last hug to me! You said you was sorry. I knew. This was it. You needed to stop fighting. You was at your point. And I understood. And you loved the Lord. You always talked about it. You are free! Your blessed. Now! No more sickness. The Lord never promised for ever life. Be are born to die. Return home! And this is what you done.
