Dear Family and friends,

I want to let you know I received a call from GOD who informed me that my new home was ready and that I could move in immediately! I have been packing and getting ready for some time now. My new home is ready and it’s a breath-taking sight. I have lived in many places but none can compare. It’s so wonderful to see everyone again. I finally have no pain. My back is as good as new and I can hear all the beautiful birds singing clearly and peacefully. For all of you that know me, you know I love to write. My new address is 5712 Jesus Way, Godstown, Heaven 11209. Feel free to talk to me any day. I’ll always be right beside you and even though I can’t answer you I can hear you and I will guide you.

Love, Inie
