    Her journey has just begun. Don't think of her as gone away, her journey just begun, life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. Just think of her as resting from the sorrows, pain, and tears, in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years. Think how she must be wishing that we know today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she's touched. For nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much. I will never ever forget your incredible smile, and your contagious laugh. The memories of playing cards together, and the eating. Tostada Pronto, and the desserts. So proud to call you my Aunt Kathy. I love you doll. Will see you again someday. Ruthy
