To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say... but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free, remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I just want to say to my brothers and sisters that Things will hard at times but always remember we have each other and Daddy. Here is a poem I hear read at church this morning and it reall encouraged me.
Two Days We Should Not Worry
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with all its possible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its poor performance; Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of just one day. It is when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternities - Yesterday and Tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of Today that drives a person mad, it is the remorse or bitterness of something which happened Yesterday and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.
Let us, therefore, Live but one day at a time.

I wanted to let you all know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I have so many sweet and fond memories of Mrs. Jo as we were growing up. Boy did we have some great times! I pray that the Lord will wrap His loving arms around you and your family at this time. Her last breath here on this earth was her first breath in Heaven. How awesome. I think of you guys often and just know that I love you guys! |

Brittany: My thoughts and prayers are with you. I never met your gramma, but I know how truly special her granddaughter is. I'm sure that she shared many of her values with you so I know that she too was a remarkable and special person. |

Lynn, You, Chris, Lillian, and Hannah, as well as your entire family, have been in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to be. It is my hope that you will let precious memories help to comfort you at this difficult time. You know that I can relate to what you are feeling, the loss of a parent is a difficult thing to bear, but your faith will see you through. May God bless you all. I am here for you and I love you.
Sincerely, |

To Brittany and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. She will be in your hearts forever...
The Rose Beyond the Wall
A rose once grew where all could see Sheltered beside a garden wall And, as the days past swiftly by It spread its branches, straight and tall One day, a beam of light shone through A crevice that had opened wide The rose bent gently toward its warmth Then passed beyond to the other side
Now, you who deeply feel its loss Be comforted, the rose blooms there It’s beauty even greater now Nurtured by God’s own loving care.
