Anthony,
I can't tell how sad I am to hear this news. You have my greatest sympathy. I lost my own mother when she was 55 and it is too young. I know how much you loved her and all your family and that is the love and bond that will see you through. I will hold you & your family up all week as you are in my prayers.
Godspeed, Mary

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.

To the family,
Our hearts were saddened to hear of the homegoing of your mother. God needed another beautiful flower to add to his garden so he reached down and picked your loved one. She is still with you today and always; hold to the many precious memories that you have. May God continue to bless and strengthen each of you during this most difficult time.

To the Bonds Family,
I was very suprised to hear that Betty had passed this morning,but God has a plan for all things that he does and i know that she will be well welcomed into the heavenly gates. I will have the thoughts of being a young girl on the church choir and Mrs.Betty making sure that i paid attention if not all she had to do was say my name and give me that look. To nicole, regina, and jennifer all will be well just fine remember that faith in God..
