To my family and friends,

I express my gratitude for your never-ending love.  My life has been an unbelievable journey.  I ask that God bless you as He has blessed me.  Enjoy life—that’s why God gave it to you!  Love Him and your blessings will never cease.  I am totally immersed in the Love of God now because my earthly journey is complete.  I thank each of you for being a part of that journey.

Till we meet again,

Dorothy
