A Time to Die

On December 17, 2012 at the age of 94, Myra went home to be with the Lord. An angel came and called her name, and took her by her hand. She said her place was ready, in heaven far above. And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart for every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain Philippians 1:21. Don't think of it as good bye but I'll see you in that great getting up morning.
