To Minister Royal (Kim) and the entire family,


Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal, Give your burdens to Jesus, He'll take them, I know He will.
Though this is now Carolyn's final earthly greeting,
Understand there has been a "special" banquet prepared,
Carolyn is the "special" guest and it's Jesus Christ she's meeting.
So I can imagine her saying now;

Weep not for me or I am gone, dry up all your tears and continue to live on.
For now I've come fully unto myself all praises to God, for transplanting me into this beautiful garden so I too can walk where angels trod.
And when you see the sun piercing so boldly through the clouds, know that it's me whispering "I love you" but you will hear me with your heart instead of out loud.
And it's me when the thought of me settles itself on your minds window pane, or a gentle breeze caresses your face or a tiny drop of rain.
I know it is painful at this moment because I had to leave, but God makes no mistakes for He knows and He sees.
He knew my time on earth was through so he took me in his loving arms, I answered his loving call, and you know what I see even more clearly now? "Jesus knows after all".
One day we'll all be together again in Heaven rejoicing and praising Him.
So while you're yet there on earth know in Him you're of special worth and remember......Weep not for me for I am Free the way it was always meant to be.....

Lovingly Submitted,
Mother Mariana E. Holley, Jamesena McCreary and Suerathia C. Turner.

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.
