My thoughts and prayers to all the family. I enjoyed the conversations with Evelyn as I cleaned her apartment at Country Meadows. What a strong willed woman. She had to be in order to be a farmer's wife. She was proud of that, and also very proud of all of you. I surely will miss her, and all her wonderful stories about her life. What a Matriarch
she was!!!

I Believe

I believe in the beauty of heaven
That we've learned about all of our lives
I believe that the gardens of heaven above
Are too glorious to even describe

I believe that though it is so difficult
For us all who are left behind here
- That heaven is truly the ultimate Eden
Where those leaving earth go without fear

I believe that God calls us home to Him
Because of love and forgiveness and more
I believe that He's there just watching and waiting
For our approach as we near to His door

I believe that when God sees us coming
He sends His angels so special to us
Just to assist us in making the sudden transition
And to rejoin us with loved ones we've lost

I believe that when we experience such loss
God carries us very close to His heart
And in love He will guide us toward a sense of peace
And ease our grief and pain where e'er we are

But I believe most of all in my true heart of hearts
That our spirits will someday soar high
In paradise with angels when we're all reunited
Where together with God we'll abide
