Heart-felt Note:

This is not a time for me to grieve over you. I am happy and well pleased, for Jesus Christ and You. Your race is over and you are home, in heaven with family. No more sorrow, pain or tears. You may now rest, because you are truly in our heavenly father's presence, where his care is secure.

You and I have accomplished so much; we did it together and in our assignment to one another, we honor God in all things within our lives, praised him, obeyed and submitted to his plans and instructions down the road of life, both within our marriage and within his ministry. I will follow when my time is over and Jesus Christ comes for me. I will come and look for my Beloved and Best friend. After all, you told me that you would be looking for me. I love you much.

Your wife, Ruth Elizabeth M. Harland.
