April,
I'm sorry for your loss, Gilbie as we called him was a great friend, and I won’t forget the work we have done on the road together. Although it has been years, I can still remember that smile, I know he will be missed. If there is anything we can do please let me know. Remember God's grace is sufficient.

TO THE FAMILY OF JONATHAN,
I JUST SAW HIM NOT EVEN A COUPLE WEEKS AGO HE WAS TELLING ME HE WAS GOING TO BE A DADDY AGAIN IN JUNE, WE WERE ALWAYS GOOD FRIENDS, PLAYED FOOTBALL TOGETHER GROWING UP, THIS DOESNOT SEEM FAIR, BUT LIFE SOMETIMES IS NOT FAIR.
GOD ALWAYS HAS A BETTER PURPOSE FOR US, HIS PLAN, MAY NOT BE OUR PLAN. BUT TO THE FAMILY KNOW ONE THING, ALWAYS HOLD ON TO THE MEMORIES OF JONATHAN, AND ONE DAY WE WILL ALL SEE HIM AGAIN, THE LORD WILL HELP YOU THROUGH THIS TIME OF GRIEF, AND KNOW THERE ARE ALOT OF PRAYERS GOING UP FOR HIS FAMILY. I WILL MISS YOU JONATHAN.

April,
I am still in shock over Michael's death and now this. I am so sorry, there are no words to express just how sorry I am. We all know Jonathon was a great guy. Now you have to make sure those kids know how great he was and how much he loved them. If you need anything please let me know. You can ask Angie I am a great babysitter if you just need some time to yourself. We Love You.

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.
