My passing is not a sorrow, it is a celevration. Understanding will bring you peace!

Life is eternal. There is not life without death, there is not renewal without the dying of the old. Dying is not the blotting, it is transitions. (The passing from one condition, place, etc. to another.)

Thus observe plants in your gardens, trees, and lawns, and unhesitately accept death and rebirth. It is hard to realize that means(?) too, sets within the framework. A death of the flesh is a birth into the realm of another experience to those who have lived in such a manner as not to be bound by earthy ties.

The same element that produces birth produces death; they are one, and the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning in same(?).

Life is of the Creator; it must(?) only be changed, it cannot be be ended or destroyed, it can only return from whence it came. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. A change in consciusness, I am happy, well, and free from the care of the earth plane.

We shall meet again my loves!
