Letting Go
The Angels gathered near your bed,
so very close to you.
For they knew the pain and suffering
that you were going through.
I thought about so many things,
as I held tightly to your hand.
Oh, how I wished that you were
strong and happy once again.
But your eyes were looking homeward, ?
to that place beyond the sky.
Where Jesus held His outstretched arms, ?
it was time to say goodbye.
I struggled with my selfish thoughts,
for I wanted you to stay.
So we could walk and talk again,
like we did - just yesterday.
But Jesus knew the answer,
and I knew He loved you so.
So I gave to you life’s greatest gift,
the gift of letting go.

We are praying for the Callands family. Iknow the Lord is and will continue to keep you in his arms. April will be missed greatly. Keep your eyes on Jesus.

April,
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me."
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Johnathan, Reianna, and CJ, know that our prayers are with you.
Love,
The Raglands (Eric, Wanda, Brandon and Michael)

The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.

Well my angel, you fought a good fight, you kept the faith, and you stayed your course. I can only say that "mommie" will miss you, and you will forever live in my heart. Thanks for being my "other daughter" and Yogie's "Sissy". You will be missed, but I know you are looking down and with that sweet little voice saying, "its ok mommie".."I love it here, I am with OUR father"

A weary soul was called to rest
And held with love against God's breast
As she gave her final sigh
She turned to tell loved ones goodbye
No more pain will she endure
God has granted the promised cure
Even though we'll miss her much
Within our hearts she'll keep in touch
And if sometime we shed a tear
Its because we hold her dear
So we'll say our sad goodbyes
And wipe the tears from our eyes
For now we'll sadly walk away
But we will meet again....someday
It was such a joy to know and work with
April. She was truly a gentle soul.She is now and will always be missed.
Johnathan, she was so proud of you. Please know that you were a great source of strength for her.
Reianna, April wanted so much for you.She often referred to you as her "pretty" girl. There is such a special bond between a mother and daughter. Stay sweet.
CJ, you were her "baby". Just remembering some of the stories she told me about you make me smile.
You guys stay close.God bless.

I had the honor of taking care of Ms. Callands while she was a patient at the hospital. Even through her pain, she was very gracious and humble. She always offered a smile and thank you for the simple things. I would like to take this time to extend my condolences to her family and friends of Ms.Callands

Johnathan, Reianna and Cj.. We are so sorry about your loss. Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel.
No words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer. Your Mom will always be there watching over you guys. If there is anything we can do John you got our number. Dont hesitate to call. We love you guys.
April we will miss you deeply.
Tanja, Will, Eric & Darius Partee-Jones.

Some people come into our lives and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same. I thank God for allowing you and me to cross paths. I will always remember your beautiful smile and personality. You and I will meet again, When we're least expecting it, One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won't say goodbye my friend,
For you and I will meet again.

APRIL...
I MISS YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR BEING A MAJOR PART OF MY LIFE. NOT ONLY ARE YOU MY SISTER BUT MY VERY BEST FRIEND. I KNOW YOU ARE WITH OUR FATHER FOR HE ASSURES ME ALL THE TIME JUST HOW HAPPY AND AT PEACE YOU ARE THERE IN HEAVEN.
Weep no more!
The glorified weep no more, for all outward causes of grief are gone. There are no broken friendships, nor blighted prospects in heaven.
Poverty, famine, peril, persecution,
and slander, are unknown there.
No pain distresses, no thought of
death or bereavement saddens.
They weep no more, for they are perfectly
sanctified. No "evil heart of unbelief" prompts
them to depart from the living God; they are without fault before his throne, and are fully conformed to his image.
Well may they cease to mourn
who have ceased to sin.
They weep no more, because all fear of change is past. They know that they are eternally secure.
Sin is shut out, and they are shut in!
They dwell within a city which shall never be stormed.
They bask in a sun which shall never set.
They drink of a river which shall never dry.
They pluck fruit from a tree which shall never wither.
Countless cycles may revolve, but eternity shall not be exhausted, and while eternity endures,their immortality and blessedness shall co-exist with it.
They are forever with the Lord!
They weep no more, because every desire
is fulfilled. They cannot wish for anything which they have not in possession.
Eye and ear, heart and hand, judgment, imagination,hope, desire, will- all the faculties are completely
satisfied. And imperfect as our present ideas are of the things which God has prepared for those that
love him, yet we know enough, by the revelation of the Spirit, that the saints above are supremely blessed.
The joy of Christ, which is an infinite fulness of delight,
is in them. They bathe themselves in the bottomless,
shoreless sea of infinite happiness!
That same joyful rest remains for us.
It may not be far distant.
Before long the weeping-willow shall be exchanged
for the palm-branch of victory, and sorrow's dewdrops will be transformed into the pearls of everlasting bliss!
"Therefore comfort one another with these words."
1 Thes. 4:18
I LOVE YOU APRIL...ALWAYS YOUR SISTER !
