"Your voice could fill a room, your conversations commanded attention...pretty sure you knew everything about EVERYTHING. The pranks and jokes were always plentiful. You were unapologetically honest and you stood firm about God and your country. You loved fiercely and left a strong legacy. The heartbreak, loss and the deep sadness is more than words can express. I know you are in the arms of Jesus. You will be missed."

Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

Isaiah 41:10 NLT
