Greetings and Peace to All:
My condolences to EVERYONE and know that I’m praying for you. I pray for the Holy Spirit to give you peace of heart and peace of mind and to take comfort that she’s with the Lord pain free. The Word of God states that “to be absent from body is to be present with the Lord”. Furthermore, dwell in the good memoirs you have of her and grasp the joy of those memories onto your heart where she’ll always remain close to us.
I’d like to share with you this special poem I wrote for my father in 2007. I pray it ministers to you.
Jesus in me loves you

Please, Please Do Not Cry for Me
Please, please do not cry for me.
For I’m no longer using a cane, walker or wheelchair, I’m steady as can be.
Whoa, now I’m walking and jumping on streets made of gold.
You know I have a new body that won’t grow old!
Jesus was waiting for me with arms open wide.
Loved ones I noted all ailments had gone, it’s awesome to be by His side.
No more tears, no more pain and no more sorrow.
Not only this day but all my tomorrows!
Please, please do not cry for me.
For I’m finally after much pain I’m where I yearned to be.
Now I’m among Saints of old and new where Jesus’ face we daily see.
Amazing grace, to embrace the One who loved and died for me!
To be in the presence of my Savior, family and angels galore.
Talk about a family reunion like none ever before.
There’s a choir of angels singing celestial praises all around.
I’m so joyous words can’t express the wonderful music that’s abound.
Please, please do not cry for me.
My loved ones, I’m delighted as I can ever be.
Oh my goodness I see a beautiful tree-it’s the Tree of Life!
It’s in the middle of the city bearing twelve crops of fruit to be precise.
Comprehend that my parting wasn’t to make you cry.
My purpose here on earth was completed if you ask, why?
With praises unto the Lord celebrate my departure to my heavenly Hall.
One day, you’ll enter the pearl gates then we’ll share the mansion, grasp you’re not alone at all.
