To All of you kids grandkids and great grandkids my deepest sympathies. I didn t get a chance to meet any of you since Bobby moved away from Dayton but Uncle Bob and Aunt Norie always had lots of stories and my parents Harry and Gay Fravert filtered them down to me I didn't get a chance to see Aunt Norie since Uncle Bob's funeral I'm glad she got to be close to all of you in her last years. She and I were the mavericks of the family so I always felt a special bond with her (that old smoking habit we both had). I 'm very sorry I did not know of her passing til after the funeral. Please if any of you need anything done here in Dayton or just want to talk let me know. Melanie/Fravert Mason

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.

Jim,Jason, & Craig,
Don't know if you remember me. I am your cousin Karla from Dayton, OH. I was looking at the Dayton Daily and seen where your grandmother passed away. I am sorry to see that. I just tried to call your mom but no answer, I'll try later. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Karla
