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.

Heahter,

I miss you so much! I still can't believe your not here any more. You will always be my baby sister, and I will never forget anything. I will remember the good and the bad. I'll tell you when you were here I never really noticed how beautiful. Now I look at your pics. and you are a very pretty girl. When we talk about memories of you I feel like crying because I wasn't ready to let go of you. Then this happend and I had to. But I will never let go of the memories.Mya acts like you so much sometimes. She asks about you sometimes and I tell her you live with jesus. I love you so much! Hugs n Kisses!

Love Always

And Forever

My dearest Heather, you have been gone now for a little over a month and the pain hasn't lessened. Not a day goes by that we do not think about all the times that we have spent together. It saddens me that such a long time passed since I saw you last. I can't forget all the times that you begged me to take you with me to Cambridge or Virginia to visit and just hang out. It always seems that there is never enough time to do all the things that we want. I wish now that I would have taken the time, but never in a million years did I expect you to be taken from this earth at such a tender age. Now I can only hope that you knew how deeply you touched my heart. You were like a little sister to me. We love you more than words could ever express. I hope you know that your precious little Mya will be well taken care of and loved. No one could ever love her more than you did, but we all sure will try.

Joe will also miss his fishing buddy! He is hoping to teach Mya to follow in her Mommy's foot steps and bring home the bigger fish.

Love Always & forever,

My thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of Heather and Oscar. It is clear from the picture that they were very loving parents, and I am so very sorry that their lives were cut short. They had a lot of loving and living yet to do.



My heart just aches, and I pray for peace for all those who were touched by their lives and affected by this tragic loss.

My heart breaks for you - Heather's family - and for her life that just seems undone. Too soon - I just cannot even imagine how this feels. I really do believe that there is another part to being and Heather is on that journey. I believe that it is a good journey and it is my prayer that after the shock and terrible grief lessens you have comfort in that. This precious child she and Oscar left will allow you always to have them with you - my heart weeps for you and prays for you and asks for your comfort. My deepest sympathy.
