My dear sweet beautiful Auntie I am so very sorry that I missed your home going ceremony. I just got the News today. I personally don’t believe in death when Christ was crucified upon the cross before he ascended to heaven he first desended to the lower parts of the earth and held captivity captive so that he that believed shall never die. Love Is GOD and GOD is love and LOVE LIVES FOREVER!!!I love you dearly. Let everything that has breath praise ye the Lord
