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.

Dr. Sean Fuller was my family's physician for a long time. His office was always decorated with pictures of his family, especially his adorable twins. His eyes would gleam every time he spoke of them and you could tell he was not only a great doctor, but dedicated dad as well.

Although I don't live in Irmo anymore, I have and will forever hold this family close to my heart. I have been thinking of the Fuller family each and every day, hoping you can find peace during this difficult time. You are very loved and supported by so many. <3

I knew Kensley only through the pictures and descriptions from her father as a former patient of his. The love Sean has for his Kensley shows in his eyes and the swelling of his chest when he spoke about her and her brother with pride. He loved to talk about his family, especially his children. Sean, your grief will be a long, hard journey so don't try and take it alone, your family needs you now more than ever. There is no way I can express my sorrow for your loss. She is safely in God's hands. KeKe lives on in your mind and your heart so talk to her every day, as her father. She is listening. After all; she is daddy's little girl. Be well my friend. You and your family are in my prayers.
