Thank you all for your kind words. They are dear to me and our family. Ten years ago today, I received a lovely birthday card from my mother that she mailed just before she died "Wishing life's best for you, son." I have carried this card with me for ten years as a cherished memory. My parents gave me so much, and my appreciation and love for them continues to grow with each day.

What a pleasure to think of and remember Betty. She was a cousin’s wife to me. I remember being in a Washington at Charles and Uncle CD’s home when Charles was courting Betty. Betty contributed so much to our Conway families. We, all, loved her. Blessings to Tom and Chris.

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.

Tom and I would like to extend to all the members of the Conway family our sincere sympathy during this time of mourning. We became friends of Betty and Chuck's at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, Silver Spring, Md. We remember fondly attending Betty and Chuck's wonderful Christmas parties. They were the ultimate host and hostess. They were always so much fun. After our move to Rehoboth Beach we enjoyed keeping up with Betty via Christmas cards. It was a joy to know Betty. She was always cheerful and an encourager to others. May God's comfort and peace be with you now and always.
