Don’t cry for me. Don’t shed a tear. The time shared with you will always be and when I’m gone, please carry on, don’t cry for me. My death was meant to be, don’t cry for me.
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
