Remenber the good memories it tugs at our heart's for some time.Yet the morning comes one day we'll be together as one. He's there always, Michael Im sorry about your loss ,your sister and brother.I I got to see Lisa at the Fair she knew me right away. I have a great recipe, just like my brother.
I wanted a food stand a friend wanted to go in restaurant business with me, her son has one but they dont have my recipe. The last thing I said to her Lisa God is Good. Then I didnt see her next year. I lost my Cousin ,then I seen her. Then your brother. I've had alot loss in just 3yrs , moved back to City. Forgiveness is so important in this life no matter what has happened. The distance Love here, is nothing compared to the overwhelming Love we will have in Heaven.God Bless you all and may our hearts heal and our memories Alive.
