Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family these last few days. It was a blessing for me to able spend Auntie's last days with her and with all of you. It is an experience I will never forget and has changed my life so many ways. "Turn you eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangley dime in the light of His glory and grace." Her words of advice to me about all the changes that are taking place in my life right now. Just keep looking to Jesus as she did even in death. I love you all and I'm here if you need anything at all. Love, Jayne##imported-begin##Jayne Fifolt##imported-end##
When I went to see her just a few weeks ago, I hoped to comfort her a little. It turned out she comforted me and also gave me a life lesson about how to make friendships. "To get a friend, you must be a friend."
I am sorry I cannot be there during this time. But, I will be there with my thoughts and prayers.##imported-begin##Tim Fifolt##imported-end##
