To the family of Pastor Daniels

I cannot tell you how deeply I have been moved by your prior comment to me. Pastor Daniels has been such an inspiration to me. Her life and knowing about it gave me the strength to go before empty churches or ones where one or two people showed up. I am by nature a very private person and try and respect the privacy of others. Our choices are only for God to judge and I believe the dear Pastor would agree with me on that.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family and friends. I pray that someday I can meet with you and you can know that I really care. I also pray that you enjoy the holidays as she as she would have wished you all could. A lovely soul that only wished well for others. I am sorry that I never met her, I am pretty sure she could have only given me good advice.

I believe that your dearly departed relative wants nothing more than for you to enjoy your lives as you enrich the lives of those around you. I also believe based on your words that you learned that from her, by her actions even more than her words. Tonight, I miss the love of my life, a woman so dear to me, a woman that died last year and I did not take the opportunity to touch again. We can regret missed opportunities or appreciate the opportunities that we did take. You spent time with Pastor Daniels and learned from her and loved her. Please celebrate those times, that is what I believe she would want. Do not let the tragedy overwhelm the real story, the story of who she was, celebrate the Pastor Daniels that you knew.

This post will be ignored by most of my readers and that is okay with me. I know it will not be ignored by the OSBI and I ask that they make sure you are aware of it. We do not know when Jesus was born and his death was what he focused on. It proved who and what he was. I believe in my heart that Pastor Daniels has proven herself. When I die again, lol, I wish to be met by my parents. I pray that they tell me that I became the man that they could admire. I wish to meet the love of my life and I pray that she tells me I became the man she I knew I would become (she was really smart and loving and understood me). I also want to meet Pastor Daniels and I want her to tell me, "Stop worrying, you squeaked by." I will ask her where my broom is so that I can sweep the streets in Heaven because Heaven is where she is and where she deserves to be. I just need a broom. LOL. Smile and enjoy your lives because that is what she wanted for everyone. Peace and God's love to all.
