My heart is filled with so many emotions. I am sad because "my beautiful" is no longer with us; yet, I am happy she is with God and no longer suffering. The past few years have been both rough and a joy. Rough as I did not want to see her in the state she was in; and, a joy because even in her dark moments, she found a way to keep me smiling and laughing. We became an ever-present comfort to one another on days no one else could. The daily phone calls, the short walks, the time we spent sitting on "our bench", swinging our legs and eating ice cream, listening to and telling one another jokes and inspirational quotes are just a few of the things I will cherish. She gave me so much and she didn't realize it. She gave me purpose! A purpose to get up each day as I knew she would be waiting to hear from me or see me. A purpose to help someone and make them smile. A purpose to encourage someone in their time of darkness and need. A purpose to smile and laugh and enjoy days I would have let go by. I am going to miss "my beautiful" in an unexplainable way. Cheryl, Bill, Mike, Derrick and the rest of her family members and friends - hold tight to her memory.. Keep her close to your heart and she will never be far away. Love you all - Jubee
