Velma,

Well we have gone as far as we can go with you today. Your carnal body in now next to Pat's. We know you are no longer in pain, you have no more sorrow and no more tears. Please know that we will miss you but it will only be for a time. Know that you have taught us all what strength, endurance and love are all about. You have shown us how one can defy all the odds. But most of all you have shown us how God will give us what we pray for in his time and when we are all in the places that are best, even though we don't understand sometimes why we are in those places. The word sunshine will never have the same meaning for me. And I will never forget to pig DOWN on occasion. I love you Momma V, I will miss your contagious smile and I will continue to fight the fight that we have and had fought. Know that you will see me again. And know that the 23rd Psalms will always hold your special place in my heart. Give those with you now hugs and kisses from me and tell them all that someday I will be there to see them all. Rest in peace Sunshine!

To Eldon, Cheryl, Darrell and family and Randy and Jeni, Ivalene and family and Margaret and family I say: She loved you so much. She fought so hard to stay here with you, but her fight is finished now and she has eternal peace. The days ahead will not be easy but know there will come a day for you to be reunited with her, and what a wonderful day we will have, all the pain here will no longer be a memory for us there. It will only be happiness and joy. I am always just a call away, today, tomorrow and whenever. Thank you for sharing your last days with her with me. I love you all.
