Nine years gone. . .how fast they've flown. Ruth and I speak of Aunt Jayne often, and when we do, it's as if she's still here spreading laughter and joy. If love keeps one alive, then she lives in our hearts every day.

We send our love and prayers. Aunt Jane will always live in our hearts and our memories.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Lynn, Pam and I loved being with Jayne and we know she is now with our Lord, along with George, looking down on their family, as well as their sisters and brothers in Christ, no longer in pain.

Death is the domain not of the deceased but of the survivors. May you all find the strength to cope and prosper.

Lynn, Graham and all Jayne's family. I had the pleasure of singing with her in choir just this last week. She enjoyed being with us and sang to the Lord right up to the end. My prayers and thoughts are with you all as I know how much she will be missed.

The world is a little darker without her light and seems less filled with music now that her voice is silent. She lives in my heart always.

For Kristi, Lynn and your families:
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 shall never forget those wonderful years we all shared at Cypress Shores. What PRECIOUS memories, including Jayne's weekly loaf of fresh-baked sour dough bread!
Keeping you in my heart and prayers.

Although we've only been at Broadus a relatively short time, Jayne definitely made an impression on us. Especially Blake. Blake loved her dearly and told me this morning that she thought "Mrs. Covington was the boss of the church." You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Chuck, Laurie and Blake Ursiny
