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.

Peanut was someone you could never forget. He told stories that made you laugh until your sides hurt. And pulled pranks that were out of this world funny. He was loved by so many people. And will always be remembered & loved & missed. I'm so thankful I got the opportunity to know Peanut, to witness who he was & the way he really lived his life. He didn't hold back. His family & close friends are in my thoughts & prayers. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Peanut was a wonderful person. He will be missed by everyone. He was always there to help. He never once complained when I asked him to help me do something. I consider myself lucky to have known him and to be able to call him my friend. I enjoyed working with him as a volunteer firefighter because I trusted him and I knew he would be there to help if something ever went wrong. God must have needed an angel with a tender heart and a helping hand. You will be remembered always.. My prayers are with Tonya and the rest of Peanuts family... GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR HE WILL HELP YOU THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME...
