Today has been rather difficult. Last night I went to bed sick with high fever, cough and body aches, and woke up this morning still reeling from the effects of whatever decided to attach itself to me. We laid to rest the body of my precious niece Wisper Leemarie Main and that was something I was not looking forward to at all even though I am secure in knowing where she abides. This is the first time in our immediate family that we have had a young family member transition from this life to the next at such an early age. She was 29 soon to be 30. I sat there still feeling under the weather with body aches, and the cough lingering, and just generally feeling miserable. I was however deeply moved by all those who came to give honor, and respect to our Wisper. She has a rather large family on her fathers side. Most all of them I had never met before, but it was so wonderful to see them there as many had traveled a good distance....one that I am aware flew in from New York. There were people from the community who either knew Wisper personally or knew my mother, and the love she had for Wisper. I appreciate that you came as well to share in this time of sorrow and celebration. I am grateful a former pastor of mine attended today...Ted Mercer. Your presence there today was most appreciated by Jhoanna and myself :) It was standing room only in the Smith Chapel so I thank you all for coming to be a part of celebrating the life of Wisper. I am thankful for my sisters husband Terry Boardingham who shared her obituary, and then her eulogy. You did a great job my brother. I have to say I was deeply moved by another person who showed up to share her brief encounter with Wisper. This lady is known as Chili Girl. She is an older American Native Indian, and her story about meeting Wisper really touched me. What she shared was right on point, and was something we all need to consider. If I seemed cold and distant today please forgive me. As I said I was not feeling well, and the weight of losing my niece has been hard. Each time I look at her pictures my heart breaks and my eyes fill with tears. I loved her dearly
