I love you Tia.

This is my beautiful Tia Martha. She passed away last week and today was her funeral service. And although it was difficult not to be there in person, her family made it possible to view her funeral through the churches live webcam service. I am so thankful for the technology that allowed me to be there with my family and celebrate my Tia's life. My Tia was an amazing woman. She was more than amazing. She was one of the rare people you meet who truly have the light of Christ. Just by spending a few minutes with her, by hearing her giggly laugh and looking into her eyes that were so full of joy, she could make you feel special. I thank God for letting us borrow her. She was truly and Angel on earth. She had such poise, and grace and the kindest heart. She was never to busy for anybody. Just by being who she was, she was an example to me of how to be a good person, how to find the good in everybody, how to turn the other cheek, and how to forgive. We have shared conversations during my adult life that completely put my life in prospective. I doubt that she even knew how much she was helping me at the time. She was just the type of person that helped so many, and without effort really, but by just being who she was. I know I was blessed for having known her, and I know so many others feel the same. That church looked like it was so packed, so full of all the people that loved her. The live webcast showed 74 people who watched the service as well. She touched so many lives. I'm so thankful for her time here and I take comfort in knowing she is no longer ill or suffering because she is in Heaven with God. I can picture her with that big beautiful smile. I know she is happy.
I love you Tia!
