Hi Mom!!! Just checking in with you.... I can't believe it's been over a year since you were here. Time has gone so fast!!!

Hi Mom!!!
I'm so glad you have joined that great cloud of witnesses and are cheering on as we finish our race here on earth.
I'm so happy you are enjoying your new glorified body which will never wear out or suffer sickness or disease or pain or sorrow!!! And you are experiencing the ULTIMATE joy of seeing Jesus face to face.
What a thrill it must be to sing in the heavenly choir and dance before him on that sea of glass: to bow before His throne; and cast your beautiful, jewel- filled crown at His feet. I'm so jealous...but I'll know I'll catch up with you one of these days.
Tell Daddy happy Father's Day for me and say Hi to all our loved ones who have gone before. I can't wait to meet our three siblings who never got a chance to live in this world. Give them each a kiss for me.
I Love and miss you Mom!!!!
See you all soon... Cheri

I write this in celebration of a life lived with love and dignity. Hazel truly lived life by the golden rule. My family will miss her kind eyes, her gentle way and most of all her smile, as we never saw her without it :)
Just beyond the sorrow of saying good bye to you is the joy we have in knowing you extended your love and graciousness to our family and treated us as your own. You are loved and will be missed by your extended family, the Robertson's ? Stuart, Phyllis, Alexander and Nicholas

Mom, now you can walk with Him and talk with Him and He will tell you that you are His own and that He needed you back, for all of us are on loan.
