Bree

On many occasions over the past few years we all told her, “It’s okay. You can go now.” Two days later she would be looking at us with a smile on her face asking for a jelly donut. Her will was much stronger than her body and that is because of family and friends.

My Mom told my grandmother, “Call me when you get there.” I think my Mom was a little relieved when she didn’t get this call. I mean can you imagine the cost of a collect call from heaven. Bree did send a message. The message was not through the phone or sent in a letter. The message was sent in words…and I speak these words to you now.

You need not worry
For I am safe now
Where I am
There is no pain
There is only peace and love
Go now and enjoy your life
I will see you
When your time has come

Bree gave us many gifts. She gave us three years devoted to bringing our family closer again. She has taught us how important family is and how everything else in this world just doesn’t mean as much to us anymore. Most importantly she has left us with…Grace. I have learned so much from her and I will never be the same. Thank you, Bree. Thank you for everything you have taught me. I love you so very much.
