Gone From My Sight
I have been using this book as a teaching tool since the 1990's. This booklet is written in a simple and easy to read format. Families read and reread this book. They pass it around from one family member to another. They refer back to it, time and time again. Every now and then, I will read it again and I still find it helpful and comforting. I believe that God must have inspired you to write those words. They have comforted and helped more people than you will know, this side of heaven. Thank you :)

A Wonderful Resource
I was given the booklet “Gone from my sight” by the hospice team when I was caring for my dying brother. Although I knew many of the facts, this was concise and so well written. I have given the 5 booklet bundle to several of my friends who are facing the death of family members. They are a great resource.
