Daddy, I Love You. Gosh I miss you so bad. I know you are in heaven. I want to talk with you. Some day I can. Just knowing you'll be there makes it easy to go home. My heart aches so much due to lonliness. I feel like it's time to come and visit you. I wish I could. I LOVE YOU DADDY. Love, Teetsie

Daddy, If you could talk to us I know this is what you would say to us.

Forgot Me Not

Forget me not, for Iam there
in the beat of your heart,
on the wings of your prayers.

Forgive me my parting and leaviung you thus,
A joyous reunion is waiting for us!

Continue to strive toward your goal and be brave.
Know that my love didn't stop at the grave.

My spirit is with you though good times and bad.
I share all the joys and the sorrows you've had.

Feel my presence within your next breath
and realize there's no distance in death.

Ask for my help and I'll answer your call.
Reach for my hand when you stumble and fall.

Run the last mile with a amile on your face.
My arms will be waitin on you when you finish the race.

Always remember, my love is right there
In the beat of your heart.
on the wing of your prayer.

Daddy i miss you more with each passing day.
Love, Rita

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

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.

It was very sad to hear of GLenn's passing. I had only met him a few times, but know he was a very good man. He made my Mom Pat very happy in the years they were married. I know now that they will rest in peace together as they both wished. My deepest condolences to Glenn's children, may their good memories sustain them in this time of grief.
