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 wishes for me to do.
And formost 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 had planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
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 walkig 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.

Thank you Ruth Ann
This page was made with love for  my
brothers and sisters and all our families.
I know  Mom is looking down on all of us.

When I saw this letter I thought 
it was something she woud have done
Mom  was such a loving, careing, inspirational
and most of all a christian. She loved
us all so much. She had great  faith
and loved Jesus with her  whole heart. 
He took her home to be with Him.....

 
MOM WE LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH.....

LOVE YOU ALL....  MARY
We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same

It broke our hearts to lose you
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home

You left us peaceful memories
Your love is still your guide
And though we cannot see you
You are always at our side

Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
