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.

When we were kids your giggle made everyone else giggle- your energy was contagious and your smile lit up the room. You were my pal, my cousin, and a dear friend to me along the way. I have the warmest and simplest childhood memories with you that I will forever hold dear-

I would like to send condolences from my family to yours. Over time may you find peace in your memories & celebrate her life rather than mourn her death. You all have gained a special guardian angel, especially Taylor, my heart hurts for her. All you can do is take it one day at a time. Prayers headed your way.

Jess and I go way back. I've known Jess for 10 years. We have had so many great times. We have drove to New York together. We have got tattoos together. We worked together. We were workout partners. After Jess had Taylor we seemed to hang out even more. She was the cutest little girl. Even though Jess and I haven't spoken in a few years I am terribly saddened to hear of her passing. I am sad for Taylor that she won't have a mother the rest of her life. Jess sure did love Ta Ta. Jess will be missed by many and as for me, i will remember all of the great times we had back in the day.....
