She leaves you with this poem:

God's Love by Kathleen Rhea
God's love did surely fill my heart; my soul, my mind, my every part.  So many tried to take Him away; by what you did or what you'd say.  His "narrow way" I would not forsake; through the strait gate, His way I did take.  For without Him I could no longer live; once I knew all for me, He did give.  Not an angel, nor perfect, but as all, a sinner; but finally through grace He made me a winner.  No physical pain is in God's love; just trust, faith and an eternity with Him above.  I prayed daily, and all I forgave; please, call upon the Lord and beg to be saved.  Now this is the end of my earthly story; forever rejoicing, received into glory!  With Father in Heaven, saved from perishing in hell; my final words as I bid you farewell:  "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." 2 Timothy 4:7.
