Clouds came. Thunder roared. She twirled around, picked up a sword.
Time lapsed, heaven clapped. The storm resounded in one accord.
Tony sat at the lunch table alone eating her banana. A boy came and pulled her red ponytail. Another came and snatched her banana. Her face was red with embarrassment. "What should I do," she wondered. She closed her eyes knowing that soon this would all be a memory. She heard herself saying to them "Jesus loved you." She was fifteen.

He was almost done medical school.
"Tony, you are the one I love. You're the one I really want. Please, I can't wait for you forever. This is my last offer. Marry me. You won't be sorry."

A small flock gathered around her as she breathed her last few breaths. She was old and full of days but reverenced by all. She had one last prayer on her lips.
"Father, send fourth more laborers into the harvest field. For the harvest is great but the laborers so few."
With that she joined the great cloud of witnesses and clapped along with heaven.
Tony gave her life to reach people with the love of God. The harvest fields are ripe all around you both near and far. What are you going to do?
The clock of eternity is ticking and the hour of grace is soon to expire.
