A Family Statement reads: Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free, I'm following the path God has chosen for me, I took his hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all, I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play, Tasks left undone must stay that way, I've now found peace at the end of day. My life's been full, I savored much, good friends and family a loved one's touch. Don't lengthen your pain with undue grief, lift up your heart and peace to thee, God wanted me now, He set me free.
