To The Family of Lisa Amory, a
"Letter From Heaven"

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 am 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 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 to 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.
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 was 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 them 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.
"Author Unknown"

In Memory of Lisa, and all the hearts she touhed in her short journey on earth. May God Give you peace.
MeMaw Kay

May the comforting thought from the Bible book of Revelation, the 21st chapter, verse 4 be of comfort to you. It reads: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I offer my sincere condolences to you all.
