Heaven-bound

Today, my neighbor Shirley died of brain cancer. I will miss her. She welcomed me to this neighborhood when my husband and I moved here and she was always a source of encouraging words and ready prayers. She will not receive the press that Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson will, (who also died today). But all of us who loved Shirley will celebrate her life in our hearts and memories.

So today, I thank God for Shirley, her legacy, and the blessing she was in my life--one that made my life beautiful in many ways.
