Lynn, Djuana and Nicky, My deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother. I have the fondest memories of her. I only want to remind you that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, and I pray that you have comfort in knowing that your mother has completed her journey and is finally at peace.

To Phoebe's family , may God bless you and keep you during this time I worked with Phoebe @ Sentara Hospital, she was a jewel. We often talked about her family, family was very important to her and she loved all of you so very much. I know that you have many fond memories of her because I do. She was a beautiful person inside and out and we had alot of fun and laughs.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to each and every one of you, during this most difficult time. Mrs. Hammond was well loved for her smile, caring nature, and just making everyone feel at home. I shall never forget the first time I met your mom, I didn't think she actually liked me at first, but as time went on, I found that she had a special place in my heart, and she had a special place in her heart for me. She adopted me as her second son, and I will never forget that--as Clyde was like a brother to me.
Sorry I was unable to attend, but my thoughts are with you.
Love always,
Dwight Thompson & Family

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.
