His sister who lived out of state.
He had no inkling that in twenty four
Hours she would slip into Jesus' arms.
He hadn't a single clue that the last words
He would ever say to her were
"I love you."
Tom spoke at his sister's memorial service:
"I am so thankful that those three words were
The last ones Jackie heard from my lips."
And he implored us, "Speak them often, over and
Over at every opportunity.
One day, when you least expect it, your
Conversation will be the final one with a
Dear one too.
And you will be forever grateful if your
Last words are 'I love you.'"
Thanks, Tom.
I'll remember.
