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.

Karen, David and family, we were saddened to hear of the loss of your mother. She was my (Linnie's), 3rd grade teacher. She was such a caring and loving person who worked tirelessly to insure that you learned and wanted to instill pride in all of her students. I'll never forget your Mom and I hope that you will strive to hold onto your memories of her. That will help you through these difficult times. We will keep you in our prayers.

I was shocked to see that Mrs. Cameron had passed. I am so sorry.
Miss Cook taught me at Bermuda School more than 50 years ago. She was so sweet and talented. She even did our first prom. Then later she married Mr. Cameron who took her away from us. I did not know that she was still in the area. My prayers and thoughts are with you in your hour of sympathy.

To "Aunt Karen", Kia, Kortni, Kameron, and the Cameron Family:
I send my sincere condelences to to the family and close friends of Mrs. Cameron during this time of bereavement. I met "Grandma Cam" thru her dearest, sweet, granchild Kortni. She was such a beautiful, soft spoken young lady with such a pretty smile. Working in my profession, I have had the pleasure of assisting her and making her laugh. She will continue to shine a light upon those of you she sincerly loved and cared about and will forever be in your heart. Please take comfort in remembering all of the good times you shared and be blessed.
