A Memorial for SecretTears

We are all sad, I know, to have lost SecretTears from our midst, though knowing she is in a far better place. I don't want anyone to think that if they went on ahead of us like she has, that we would forget them, or not be anxious to "look them up" in heaven... ST was important here, and had been participating in this forum f*mily for a long time before me... So some of you knew her much better than I. Perhaps you will want to remember her with me, silently once more, or in writing, it doesn't matter. But LORD, we sincerely thank You for gracing us with SecretTears life and all the many things she did share with us. She was so frank and sweet and so young. I miss her youthfulness, LORD! ): ): I guess you'll be enjoying her! Thank You for her willingness to share some of those graphic and horrific memories that wrenched my heart and helped me to keep on believing that this IS real, and that YOU are the Victor, because no one could do these awful things to such sweet children, unless they were purposefully trying to defile Your wondrous Holy Name. Thank you, that in the midst of her suffering she was able to offer solace and love to me, for I experienced You, through her.

Thank You that her grueling t is over, and that she has entered Your divine rest, and I would especially like to remember Emma with her and thank You that she will never, ever feel shame again.

My heart verse for ST:

"Those who look to Him are radiant,
their faces are NEVER covered with shame." (Ps. 34:5)

We love you SecretTears,
until then,
