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.

Jeff,
It was so good to speak with you yesterday by phone and I treasure and thank you for all we talked about.I thank God that he blessed me with knowing your Mama. She had one of the most sweet and giving spirit, that is so rare, it is a gift from God. I loved sitting on the back porch with her drinking our favorite drink, laughing and telling her about my memories as a child growing up there, with memories I still treasure to this day, and the history of the house. Although the house has been updated since I grew up there with my grandparents, it was not just a house, it had a new family- YOU AND YOUR MAMA_and it was still A HOME!!!! You now were making your own sweet memories of your own to carry with you!!! Also, your Mama fixed the best chicken livers I ever ate, I will never forget them! Jeff, I would be there if I could, Please know although I can not be there in body, I will be there in my heart and prayers. If there is anything I can do, even if to just talk, please call me any hour of the night or day!!! I will be there. I will miss her!!!!
May the Peace and Love of God be with you now and Always.

Jeff, May God's grace and comfort be with you now and in the days ahead. Its hard to lose a Mom, but be comforted by the fact that you can never lose her love. I'm so glad I had the previlege of meeting her. She always made Wes feel like he was part of the family when he came there.

Jeff,

May God be with you during this time of sorrow. There is no love like a mother's love and I am sure you felt Jo's love for you. May you always hold dear the memories you made with your Mom.
