She is dancing in the clouds! One minute of heaven is worth a lifetime of suffering! Just one minute. She wants you to share her joy in meeting her Savior face-to-face! Holding you and your father up in prayer in the next few months and year as you miss her face, voice, smile, and uplifting words. She will still give them though!
