I pray that you will stay with God Goodbye, my friends, goodbye. The light grows dim but in this hour I have no tears to cry. My heart is full, my joy complete. Goodbye, my friends, goodbye. I feel no loss of hope as I've grown older. Only this world's weight upon my shoulder. My heart beats to a slower song, So softly in my veins. The night is warm, but in my sleep I dream of heaven's reign. Everything I am I've tried to show you, In this life I've been so blessed to know you. Goodbye, farewell, we'll meet again Somewhere beyond the sky. I pray that you will walk with God Goodbye, my friends, goodbye.

I have been under medical care for months. My wounds are getting bigger. I have trouble breathing. I am ready to fly home. I won't be here much longer. I can't do anything about it. My heart is too weak. I want to say goodbye to everyone. [...] I want to say I love you. I'd like to push back the darkness with my bravest effort. [...] Goodbye, farewell, we will meet again".
