Dear Amy and family,

I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. Although we have lost touch over the years, I always thought about you and your family and thought very highly of your mother. I am tremendously sorry and hope you will let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Dear Nana;

Words do not describe the loss I feel without you. You were and will always be my best friend. Thank you for blessing my life with your spirit.

I will miss you greatly but will see you again one day. I know you are with God and being "nana" for everyone there.

I love you..

I don't know your family, but I work near where the accident happened. As I heard the sirens and saw the police and ambulance racing past my window, I immediately said a prayer for whoever it was they were going to. I am so sorry for your loss, you have all been in my thoughts and prayers since Friday. I pray that God sees you through this difficult time.

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.

I wished to express my condolences to the family of Sandra Beckett. While I never met Mrs. Beckett, I was one of the witnesses at the scene. I wish to let the family know that she was treated with respect and with the utmost care by the police, rescue squad and fire department. They did all they could to help her. Please know that this has changed my life forever and that God used her to make a difference not only in the lives of her friends and family but in mine as well. God bless all of you during this time.
