The security of your protection gave me courage to be foolishly fearless. I will continue to carry you in my heart for all of my days and cherish each second with you and each lesson from you. I love you with all that I am for eternity. I am truly blessed to have had you. May your peace be eternal. May love and light shine upon you throughout your spiritual journey.
