We will Always be close. We all love you and miss you, and we hold dear all the wonderful memories. Tell mommy all about Charlotte...she would have loved her so much!

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.

Dear Sharon, Cathy and family,

Longing For One More Day

When we lose someone we love it seems that time stands still.

What moves through us is a silence... a quiet sadness... A longing for one more day... one more word... one more touch...

We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye,

but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived.

And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

We will see you again some day, in a heavenly place where there is no parting.

A place where there are no words that mean good-bye.

Your father was a WONDERFUL MAN ... OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO YOU ....ALL OUR LOVE...THE O'NEILL'S

Miss u Pop Pop, Luv Ricki & Owen

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
