My good friend and neighbor is dying. She has       more healthy problems through the years than anyone that should have to tolerate. Now as she approaches her 57th birthday she knows that it will      be her last. She has started     a lot of her things. She has given all of us around her much more than just her things though. She has also given us her friendship, her kindness, and her     smile.  She has given us her shining spirit that has made all of our lives so much     . When a local dog was      killed by a bear, my friend welcomed it into her home and nursed it back to     . When any of us needed anything she was there doing all that she could with a      full of love and a soul full of goodness.
She did all of this too while her health      to grow worse and worse. My friend,      , is not afraid of death. She has told me several times that she believes it will only be like a brief       and then she will awaken in Paradise（天堂）. I am           as well that she will fit right there because she already has a lot of paradise within herself. It is the paradise within her that she has so          and beautifully given to us all.
We all have a bit of paradise within ourselves. She has shown me that the best way to enjoy that paradise is to      it with everyone you meet. I wish my friend only joy in her      days here and endless love and life in her coming days in Paradise.
