Words can't even express how much you mean to me. I think about you everyday and look to the sky for confirmation that you will always be here for me.I was sad to see you separate from us because I thought that I would never get the chance to see you again. In actuality we will meet again and the reunion will be even better because this time it lasts forever. I have always held you in a light of someone who has a lot of wisdom because of our past conversations with one another. Now I have the opportunity to add the advice that you gave me in the physical while on earth and apply it to the spiritual wisdom that you deliver from heaven. Please know that I will always and forever love you. You're worth more to me than all the silver and gold.
Love Always,
~Christina Stevenson
How much better it is to get skillful and godly Wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.

Its been 2 years already and I still can't believe ur gone. There is not a day that passes by where I don't think about you. I do have my moments where I may shed a tear or two, only because I never got the chance to say goodbye the way I wanted to. But I do know that you are in a better place watching over me and the rest of the family. So I will not continue to mourn your death or be sad, better yet I will celebrate your life and make sure I become the young lady that you want me to be. You were and still are our strenght. So I won't say good-bye, better yet, See You Later Grandma... I Love You and Miss You

But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethen,concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

Wishing you all God's blessings and continued strength as you pause to remember all the good times. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

TO: My Sisters and Brothers
I am sure this is what our mother would say:
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.
Love You All

To the entire Stevenson Family,
I Pray that God will continue to give you the strength to go on. The love, joy, and over whelming number of good times shared with your love one were a gift from God. Hold on to those memories and cherish each and everyone for they are a blessing.
