Dear Cousins,
Please accept my condolences upon the loss of your Mother. Although you all moved away from here when we were very young, I have never forgotten about you or Aunt Lorraine.
It is very sad that she is gone from this world without my having the chance to get to know her.
It is obvious from this book that one of her greatest gifts was the love that she gave everyone. That is something you will always have.
I don't remember much about your Mom, except when I was really little, thinking how very pretty she was, like a fairy princess, and someone you would dream to grow up and be like her. I remember she was vibrant and funny and caring.
I'm sure the world is a better place having had her in it.

In memory as in life, your Mom's influence will always be strong. She has shown you how to be true to your own beliefs, and your lives from now on will honor her memory. When a challenge appeared, she didn't run away, she just said,"Bring it on." Please find comfort for your grief in your memories of her. She was my younger sister, and she taught us all a lot.

Gramma you were a good woman and you will be missed dearly. You always made me feel like I was part of this family and I respected you for that more than you ever knew. You never judged and you loved me just the same. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Gramma I love you so much, say hi to Aunty Kimmie for me.

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.
