Darlene you are missed profusely. You left an indelible mark on those who knew you and lived your life as you wished, a self-determined life. You were devoted to faith. Your spirit will live on for eternity. May you be wrapped in his loving arms free from harm.
As per the Indo-Tibetan hermeneutical tradition, “It’s time to fly the expanse of the sky of Spacious Mother.” – From The Sky Dragon’s Profound Roar. The nature of being is without words. In our minds, your nature of being is without words; your insight, luminosity, and spirit are irreplaceable and will be missed inordinately.
If one lives life with intention, faith, and an indomitable will; nothing is lost as life is impermanent in nature and death marks the transition to the next life or rebirth and the end of suffering.
