My pain is gone and my soul flies free. My journey on Earth is through and a home in heaven awaits me where no more tears will there ever be. I am at peace now, and while a part of me is gone from you, my love will be with you for all eternity. Author unknown Online condolences and guest book may be found at www.eliaskallalandschaaf.com
