Dear Family of Aunt Hen:
I visited Aunt Hen in the hospital a few weeks ago and she was doing so good, had a smile on her face as always.
Sorry she took a turn for the worse, or maybe for the best... I never liked to see someone suffer....
She is probably telling all of us. .. To my Dearest Family, some things I'd like to say...but first of all 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. 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." 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. Do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain. 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.
Sorry I missed the funeral, my stepdaughter, 28 died May 10th, of Cancer and I was out of town. I love each of your dearly and you are in my prayers that God will comfort your hearts with peace and love.

Dear Aunt Hen's Family,
As I visited Aunt Hen's family last night at her viewing, I was amazed with what I saw. I saw so many loving people, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and other extended family members. I have never before experienced a visitation as warm and caring, with family members expressing their love for their Mother.
When talking to Aunt Hen's sons and daughter about their Mother, their response was, "Our Mother was a great Mother. We had the best." And in my opinion she was one of the best. I guess that runs in the family!
Sometimes when we lose an aunt or uncle, it doesn't affect our lives, but that's not so with losing Aunt Hen. We have so many wonderful memories of Mom and Aunt Hen together. I remember so well the good times we had when we were young(er) of all of our families together. Gosh! Remember those Easter Egg hunts we had at Grandma and Granddaddy's house? That was the best!
To all of you, just trust in the Lord and He will give you the strength you need in the days, weeks, and months ahead. It is going to be difficult, but trusting in the Lord will help you to get through the most difficult times.
During Mom's last few conversations with me before she died was a request for me to keep our family together. That is an almost impossible task and I did not do a very good job at that! But now I am asking all of you to love one another like your Mother loved you, never stray far away from each other, and keep the family ties close at hand. Allow the love that Aunt Hen shared with everyone to shine through each of you.
I love you dear family,

Sunday afternoon turned sad after hearing the loss of your Mother. She was a very sweet lady and neighbor. Our daughter Amber enjoyed spending afternoons sitting with your Mom on her front porch. With the saddness we change to sunshine and smiles as we remember your Mother, as she was a special lady.
May God bless you all,during this time of loss.

Reading that such a beautiful lady has passed away totally breaks my heart into. Our families have known each other forever it seems, our parents being friends for mnay, many wonderful years.
I remember so many times that our precious mamas would get together after their husbands had passed away, and it was like watching two school girls un-fold before my eyes. They would laugh and take a stroll back down memory lane when the four of them were such big buddies. They would talk about raising kids at the same time, their husbands, how they loved racing down at the old dirt track in Savannah, the abundance of holidays and birthdays that we all spent together.. the list goes on and on.
To each of you, please know that our hearts go out to you in the loss of your loving mama. I will always treasure each time I was in her presence, and will still hear her beautiful laugh for years to come.
I send with deepest sympanthy and love to each of you from our beautiful Mama, Gerry Morris, and family.
