Dance As If No One Were Watching

Hi there, love this sentiment of my card.  It actually makes me think of a very sad, but uplfiting occasion. I have a sister-in-law, Susie, who passed away almost fourteen years ago at the age of 23.  She had an enlarged heart that she did not know about.  She was extremely physically fit, a marathon runner.  She collapsed suddenly and because of the cardiomyopthy condition was not able to be revived.  It was one of the saddest times and biggest losses our family has ever suffered.  At Susie's funeral, I remember that the closing hymn was "Dance, Dance, Wherever You May Be, I am the Lord of the Dance..."  The congregation, so young with many of Susie and Sean's friends there, sang this song so wonderfully loud. Surely, Susie was being ushered into heaven with a big party.  The sentiment on this set isn't exactly the same, but certainly makes me think of Susie each time I see it.  There is still sadness, but many happy memories of the life Susie lived in her short time on earth.
