To the family of Virginia Beck may God give you comfort and peace by means of prayer - Philipians 4:6,7. My deepest sympathy

Gram,
I'm selfish...I NEVER thought this day would come. I thought you'd be with me FOREVER because I NEED you. I never thought about what you might "need"... a place to go and be in "peace." I'm sorry for that, but I'm STILL selfish...I NEED you here with me! I'd give ANYTHING to have you back for one more day...I NEED you here to give me comfort, advice, LOVE, and to make me laugh, and you NEVER judged me. You ALWAYS fought for me and I THANK YOU for that. You have no idea how "funny" you were. I never told you how much I would look forward to coming over and sitting with you at the table...I knew at some point we would have a "good" laugh...you were so funny! I want to say THANK YOU for that and I want to say "I'm sorry" for never telling you that while I had you here. You will NEVER know how much I LOVED YOU! Trust me, I LOVED you more than you'll ever know, and you brought me so much "comfort" after our talks at the table, or on the phone, that I can't even begin to measure. I just wish you passed knowing that. I wished the last time I saw you I "hugged" you HARDER! I MISS YOU so much. Who can I talk to now that will listen the way you did?...I LOVE you and MISS more than you'll EVER know! P.S...You are a ROCK STAR! (wink: you know what I mean...love you). xoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
