For Maurice:

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.

Dear Maurice,

I was stunned and saddened just now when I came across the obituary of Frances! I am so, so sorry and want you to know my heart is with you during this difficult time.
I noticed the timing of Frances' funeral today which coincides with when I was stopped by officers at a stop light nearby. A funeral procession came through on the way to Forest Lawn and I remember saying a little prayer for the deceased and the family as they rode by. I had no idea that it was Frances!
I have many loving memories of your beautiful Frances; we go way back to when she was working at Penneys many years ago.
May God shower you with a Multitude of His Blessings and help ease the pain in your heart.
Love and prayers,

We will always appreciate her faithfulness to God in adversity and in joyful times; cheerfulness in sickness and in health; and constant care for others. Maurice, you and Frances are in my earliest recollections. Tonight mother shared that Frances was perhaps her last living friend that she met when she first moved to Richmond in the early 1940's. Glenda also joins me thanking God for faithful friends like you two. We think you, Bernice, Gladys and the rest of the family at this time. May the God of all comfort be very close.

I am greatly sadden by the lost of your wife. She was a lovely person. She will be surely missed. She always had the most beautiful hair and it always looked like she had just gotten it done. You have been a wonderful husband and I am sure you will miss her. All of us at Shoney's will miss her too. May the hand of God be with you and the rest of your family in your time of sorrow.
