She seemed to be such a beautiful and joyful person, in spite of her pain, and the way her life turned out (not what she had planned or hoped for). It is so hard to remember the joys in life when we are enduring hardships. But God gives us blessings through it all. We just have to open our eyes to them. Love, love, love these gratitude posts. :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />RosannAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594967600495492941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488152270326221518.post-51688133575322374842011-09-26T15:40:11.660-05:002011-09-26T15:40:11.660-05:00It's always so sad to see someone so young pas...It's always so sad to see someone so young pass, but at least now there is no pain, and she is with her daddy :)<br /><br />Stopping by from Members to Remember from VB!Laurahttp://ziggysblogs.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488152270326221518.post-71665036387954426132011-09-26T15:15:17.807-05:002011-09-26T15:15:17.807-05:00Hi Erin!
