Debby, Roy and Family,
My thoughts are with you at this time of sorrow. I know what this wonderful man meant to all of you. He will be greatly missed I am sure. I will always remember Debby's stories of his love of convertible cars and will keep that picture in my mind when thinking of you all.
I pray comfort comes to you all soon.
Love
Cheyenne

I was so sorry to hear about Roy. It was always a pleasure to see him driving around Salem especially in his convertibles. His beautiful white hair was blowing in the wind and he always had a smile on face. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Jones and Finney families,
Please know that my deepest sympathies are with you all!! The girls and I send all of our thoughts and prayers to each and every one of you. I met Granddad once, and he was so welcoming and wonderful to both my kids and I. He has left a lasting legacy of humor, service and humility within your family that is something you should all be proud of! Love all of 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.
