To Henry Johnson Jr.,
My sincere prayers and condolences are extended to you and your family in this time of great loss. Please find comfort in the promises the Holy Bible sets before us. For at Daniel 12:2 it assures us, "And there will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust who will wake up". May God keep and hold you in his arms.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
PSALM 27 The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall i fear?The Lord is my stronghold of my life of whom shall i be afraid?When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh when my enemies and my foes attack me.They will stumble and fall though an army besiege me,my heart will not fear,though war break out against me,even then will i be confident.One thing i ask of the Lord,this is what i seek:that i may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,to glaze upon the beauty of the Lord and seek him in his temple.For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling;he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock.Than my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me;at the tabernacle will i sacrifice with shouts of joy;i will sing and make music to the Lord.

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.
