Annie Welch Obituary
Memories and Condolences

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.

I didn,t get to spend alot of time with you after our paths went different ways, but I thought of you quite often more than I can say,I know we had some differences, but sweet Mom you meant the world to me.
You may not have known how I felt about you, but I truly looked up to and cherished you.
You was someone who had a great imprint on my life for you was there for me when I was right and wrong,and I am going to miss you now that your gone.
But remember when your in your heavenly home and no more in pain, I will be thinking of you and we will meet again.
Mom Annie I love you and I have always adored you and your strength,
Enjoy the angels and our Lord,until we all meet again
When the sun rises here above us, we will know you are smiling and watching as we think of you,when hot weather hits and we get ourselves some cold Ice cream ,I for one will remember you and your milkshakes,And I will never forget about the Coca Cola.I shall always smile when I think of that,so just rest and know that we all will be okay for we have you as our guardian angel now and ,You are already deeply missed here on this earth.

Even though I can't touch your face
I feel you with me every day
I wish you could see all my dreams coming true
When I get lost I close my eyes
And I feel you shining down so bright
I feel you shining down on me
You were like my mother
You were my best friend
You were everything I want to be
And all the good inside of me
There's never been
Never been another
That loved me like you did
My grandmother, my angel
I LOVE U GRANNY ..
LOVE LORI, "UR LIL MAN" CODI AND "UR BABY GIRL" MAKALA ..
