Dear Sis, Thank You for posting the Obit on the blog.

I know that this is not the way that you beleive but, I will try to explain what has kept me going and what I beleive to be.

When a person dies their sole goes to be with the lord. This is a celebration because only the beleivers get to go. Ed and I are both beleivers. That means that we have to celebrate that the lord has excepted the others sole into his house. So please do not be sad anymore about his passing but rejoice with the rest of us that he has gone home.
This does not mean that I do not greive from time to time but I do have to try to turn my grief into happiness so that I can celebrate.
I love you very much and thank you for the obituary. Please celebrate with the rest of us.

Your Sis,
Molly
