Isaiah 57:1-2
The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away to be spared from evil. Those who walk up rightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death. So, dry your eyes do not cry for me. I have peace with my heavenly Father and am reunited with my earthly Father and Mother. I have had a blessed life full of love and laughter, therefore I leave you saying; live a full life and love deeply.
Her legacy will live on through the memories and values she instilled in those she loved.
