Dear Lyons Family,
I wish to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. It is with sadness in my heart that I type this entry, because I am one of the people whose life was touched by the loving, caring and genuine spirit of Mrs. Lyons. ( Forgive me, but she will always be "Mrs. Lyons" to me.) I am sorry that this earth will now be deprived of such a bright light. Upon our first meeting, Mrs. Lyons was diplomatically trying to convince Laura that she simply could not leave myself, "that little red headed girl", and my sister, Colleen, in the parking lot at Carbone's Restaurant, because she had promised our mother that she would give us a ride back home. A few years later, after Laura and I had become friends (instead of perceived rivals) she welcomed me into your home, lives and family with the warmth, kindness, and motherliness for which most of us 'kids' knew her. We shared some girl talks, some secrets, and she even forgave me and later laughed when I would become a brat, and say things in her presence in order to elicit the shock I knew it would bring; because in her eyes we could never intentionally do anything that would be considered unseemly. It was an honor and a privilege to have been a 'pseudo-daughter' and friend of Mrs. Lyons, and she will be remembered fondly and missed greatly. I wish that I could be there to give you all big hugs, an ear to bend or a shoulder on which to cry. As always, dear family, you are in my thoughts and prayers, and I wish you all some peaceful moments during the difficult time.
Light and Love,
Heather

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.
