To the Edelmann Family, I have very fond memories of the hours I spent at your home as a teenager hanging out with Jeff and spending time with all of you. I enjoyed the times I would chat with your mom over the years whenever I saw her at the store or over town or wherever. I have missed seeing her the last few years as she has struggled with her health. I will miss her as I know you will also. She was a wonderful woman and always so full of energy and vitality. I would have been happy to have had her as my mother. Once again, my heartfelt prayers and condolences to 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.

Uncle Gump, Jeff, Gregg, Mark, Nan & Sue & families ~ My love to you all. Aunt Beverly always made me smile and I have wonderful memories of her. My favorite being that Lindsey was two weeks over due and Beverly called me everyday to find out what was "going on." When she found out that Lindsey was on the way she and Nawnee called so many times for updates I had to unhook the phone! lol Even then I was laughing - it made me feel so loved. And I loved her, too. I'm going to miss her... Aunt Beverly and you all are in my prayers ~ Kathy

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Beverly. I did her hair for awhile at the mall and she always had a smile for everyone. She had a great sence of humor and we enjoyed her stories. May she rest in peace.
