Time is too slow for those that wait; too swift for those that fear, too long for those that grieve; go and run free with the angels; we’re only imagining you dancing around the golden clouds; for the Lord – the God whom you served during your earthly journey, has chosen you to be with him and we feel nothing, but proud about your triumphant transition to be with your “King”. Although the good old Lord has taken you away from us; your memory will never escape our minds, but it has made us to continuously feel glad for the glorious times we spent together with you, here, on earth. Even more amazing, to us, is the feeling deeper down within the reservoir of our memory, which is centered around the precious memories you’ve left with us; in a special way. Go and run free with the angels, as they sing so tenderly and, please, be sure, to tell them, to take good care of you, for us; now that you, our prayer warrior, has left this suffering world forever!
