My Dear Ms. Helen, we always kept in touch no matter what, but lately since I've been so busy with the baby and work, I was not able to know the pain you were going thru. My condolences and sympathy goes with you. I enjoyed working with you, and you were always a great worker and person. Thank you for your friendship all these years. You will be greatly missed.

Kevin and Tracey, may the peace of God be with you always. Kathleen was always so full of life. and she encouraged that in us all. No matter how bad things may look, let that be your strength as you say your final good bye.
We all love Kathleen and will miss her dearly.

Tracey,
Your mother was a wonderful, sweet and lovely woman, who I am sure will be missed by all. Words do not make these times easier...hopefully time can somewhat ease the pain.
I like to think our loved ones who have passed on, never really are far away from us. They will be with us always in their love, strength and what they have taught us through out life. She taught you well, and I know you will continue to honor her.
Please, remember you have family and friends who love and care for you.
Thoughts and Prayers are with you.

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.

To Family of Ms. Helen
My deepest condolences to all of you and know that I too feel the pain. She is a wonderful person and I enjoyed working with her here at Chesterfield County Mental Health Department. And to you Ms. Helen - I just saw you and your daughter a few weeks ago and we hugged "Thank You Jesus" and I feel I've been touched by an "Angel".
