I Am Still Near Death has taken me from this world, and though we are apart, I am still near. All that we meant to each other remains true, in trust and faith, have no fear. Keep me always close to your heart ! For I leave with you what no one can steal, a treasure chest of precious, happy moments: the tender, love-filled moments we shared, as well as the challenging times that brought us closer together. When you are in need, speak to me, call my name. I will come to you with wisdom and light, to fill your soul with peace, and to guide you in the pathways that lead to life forever with our Loving God. I also offer you this sacred promise: When I am home in God’s embrace, whenever you call on me, I will still be present to you, for neither death not grave can break the bonds of love that we on earth once knew.
