Dear Krista,

I hope that you rest in peace, and may the good Lord be with you always.

It was not easy learning how to live "just for today": the path was sometimes difficult with tears along the way. I think I've grasped the lesson now that you were teaching me - although the future is unsure, to live contentedly. And for tomorrow's trial, you say, there's full provision made: of grace and strength; of hopefulness, and joy that cannot fade. Another lesson must be learned, not only for today, but for tomorrow I must trust; Lord, take my fears away.

Krista, I hope you are at peace. I think of you often. Say hello to my mother and your dad. Love, Linda
