my Prayers are with each of you

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.

My dear Bertha and Family,
You are in my prayers and thoughts. Although I did not have an opportunity to meet your mother, I know that she was a very special woman. May God's precious love give you and your family peace and comfort.

I offer my prayers and love to all of my family. I thank God that my grandmother is with our Lord and the sting of death has no victory; she is not bound by the grave, for her life is in Christ everlasting, Amen.

Ms. Bertha you are a wonderful woman, so that means your Mother was a phenomenal woman. This is her time to be with the lord, she will be miss, but remember she will always be with you and your family forever. Watching over you all like a hawk? Your family will be able to talk to her whenever they feel the need to (I truly believe that). May God bless your family to the fullest.

Bertha & Family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your loved ones. I know that you will always cherish every memory and moment that you shared with your Mom and take comfort that she is now resting in the presence of our Saviour Jesus. I pray that God's comfort and peace will be in your hearts always.

Thank you for the gift of love,
now you're sharing it up above.
You had many things to say.
All in a caring way.
You always saw good in everyone,
No matter what they've done.
You were always the one we could all lean on.
Even though it must have felt like a ton.
You were always the strength of the family.
Now we must let you rest calmly.
As we say goodbye,as tears roll down our eyes.
I know your place in heaven has a good view.
Because you're telling God,
I need to keep an eye on a few.
I know you will always be in our hearts and mind.
So Grandma,
we must depart our ways for now, but I'll never forget you're one of a kind.
John 9:4 must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

My family and I send our condolences to you and your family regarding the death of your mother. There is no one that can ever take her place, but God said her work is done here and called her home. Always remember the beautiful times you had with her. I am praying for you and your family. Let me know if I can be of any help to you. God bless and keep you. Terri Lacy

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
