R.I.P Grandma

My thoughts & prayers are with all of you at this difficult time.  Someone sent me this poem when my husband Bob passed on to his eternal life.  I hope it comforts you as it did me. 
   Please don’t cry any more tears for me.  I am at peace; I am finally free.  Like the eagle in the sky, I am soaring, so please don’t cry.  I know you love me, I love you too, but my time was over, was finally through.  I have ascended to a better place which is not confined by time or space.  To those that loved me, I did not fall, I only succumbed to a higher call.  Do not mourn for me, I am with you still.  I’ll be with you always from dawn to until—.
May God bless you with His comfort & peace!
Pat Shoff
