As we reflect on your untimely departure we couldn't but praise and thank God for you. The fact that you are basking in His presence right now, is a gift weI could never earn or deserve and so we praise Him for it. The Lord Jesus sealed you for redemption by grace through faith to be His forever. Amazing as you were, we praise God because every last thing in you we liked, loved and appreciated, ultimately came from Him. We are tempted to call your passing a loss but it's a temporary separation and many of us are not too far behind. We can be tempted to say things like " How could a loving God allow this?". Yet we know this doubt stems from the fact that we refuse to accept what you've told us about yourself and about the life you've given us. Lord we struggle and pray each day to see her death as you did. You have called her death "precious" (Psalm 116 :15) so we will call it precious. For the believer, "to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Phil 1:21) and we will take that literally as you meant us to. In spite of how we feel, we will commit to celebrating her return to Your everlasting arms and for finishing her assignment. If this life were a test, not only did she pass with honors, but she finished early. Just last week you texted your brother excited because of the ticket he bought you for a live-stream worship event on Sunday. "YASSS!" He read it in your voice only to find out a couple days later that your audience of One had decided your dress rehearsals were done. No doubt when that narrow gate opened you went dancing and singing through. Well done, good and faithful servant. Well done. Though we know and find comfort in the fact that you are not missing us, we are missing you terribly already. The hole you left in our lives spans space and time. We are already missing that contagious, explosive, and unnaturally loud laugh which all 3 of us inherited from Dad. We miss that quick smile you undoubtedly got from Mom. We miss your obsession with fart jokes and how you would repeat them several times if you didn't get the laugh you expected. I'm laughing now at how you refused to accept that quite possibly it just wasn't that funny, or more likely, we'd heard a version of it it many times before. Surely it's why you and Mello always got along. We miss your "feetie" posts, a practice you stole from Jerrin. Most of them from his backyard or another not-so-glamorous place that you fully appreciated. You had a PhD in simple things and found contentment in wherever God brought you and whomever was there. You spent many of your years carrying burdens that weren't really yours but yours to carry, buying things you wouldn't keep for yourself, and loving people you sometimes barely knew. You served and exalted the least among us, not because you didn't have other things to do, but because that's what your Master commanded. Every last second, all of it, a deliberate commitment to store up your treasure in a Kingdom that is without end. You were no fool for giving up what you could not keep for what you could not lose. Thank you for reminding us that this is not our home and our life is not our own. You have taught us it was never about how many days you had in your life, but how much life you had in your days. To all the people who loved her, there is a famous quote from the Usual Suspects when Kevin Spacey said "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist". Of his tricks, we personally believe his greatest is convincing you that you will always have more time. You won't.

A GoFundMe has been set up in her honor to cover cremation expenses and to help the children transition to life without their parents. This account, originally set up by Jesse is in the process of being transitioned to the children so they may gain control of the funds. Rest assured the donations will still be used as they were intended but they is a slight delay in accessing these funds since one could not have imagined Jesse would not be here oversee the account.
