You will be truly be missed from this family. A great sister in- law and friend. Gone from this life but forever in my heart. So celebrate your new eternal life with your other family members . No more pain and suffering. Dance with the angels and rest in peace.
I had planned to come and see you that Sunday , before you passed, but my plans changed, and I didn’t make it over there , and I’m so sorry I didn’t get to see you before your transition. You will truly be missed on this side, but now you have a new life and all is good, no more suffering with pain and sickness. You will live with Jesus and meet all your loved ones who went on before you. I will always remember you stood beside me on my wedding day as my matron of honor in 1979 as I married your brother. You were a nice sister-in-law to me . Rest In Peace Linda.
Love you , Jacquie
