To friends and family: You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and wish that she will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her, or you can be full of the love she shared. You can feel empty or you can do what she’d want…open your eyes, smile, love, and go on.
