From Aunt Penny from heaven to my dearst family,somethings 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 oyt of sight.Remember that I'm with you every morning,noon and night.That day I had to leave you whem 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 you're dearest family 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.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 not 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 over.I'm closer to you now,tnan J ever was before.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. Aunt Penny my flesh will always miss you but I know my soul will see you soon in heaven. Love Little Gary

Penny, although we were far apart in miles, you were always close in my heart. I can't beleive that your gone, the realization of knowing that we never really had a chance to say our goodbyes saddness me, but there won't be a day that passed by that you're warm, kind and gentel touch won't be forgotten......rest in peace now with mom and dad....we'll all be together gain
