On a late afternoon last week, I received the following from another friend, and I thought to myself that I would send it to Anita over the weekend. That was before I heard the sad news. But it still holds true… and somehow I like to think that she knew I was thinking of her when I read it.

May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing that you are a child of God.
Let His presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance and bask in the sun.
It is there for each and every one.

I will miss you dear friend. You will never be forgotten.
