See you soon, Kristy

Friend and author Kristy Dykes graduated to the next life yesterday. Her husband blogs about it here.
Kristy was a shining spot to so many of us writers. A cheerleader, an exhorter. You can see from Milton's writings she was a loving, kind, spunky wife and mother.
Mostly she loved Jesus and reflected His light with a passion. Cancer took Kristy in this life, but has no power where she is now.
In juxtaposition, I occasionally follow a blog by another woman struggling with cancer. This woman does not know Jesus. In the course of her journey, her husband left her, she's sick, broke and alone. Bitter.
Watching two people struggle and die in cyberspace was a unique experience, but watching one who loves Jesus compared to one who doesn't, was sad. I feel for the latter. "Jesus, reveal yourself."
We will all miss Kristy. "Friend, see you very soon. We'll start a writing group that will last for eternity!"
Thank you Milton and family for being such a great example of Christian charity and exposing the inner heart of Kristy.
