God knew best aunty when he called you home to be with him. God knew your body was tired, worn and was over due for rest. I know that I will see you again because we both served the same God, but I miss you so dearly. It is hard to let Go and Let God when it someone as dear to you as you were to me. I love you aunty and I know you loved me too. No more pain and he made you new. Love always your niece Nikelle Terry Kansas City, Mo.
God has called you home..Rest in Peace
