May God Bless You...
Safely Home
I am home in heaven, dear ones;
All's so happy, all so bright!
There's perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief are over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the Valley of the Shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
On that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still;
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idle stand;
Do your work while life remaineth -
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of the meeting!
Oh, the joy to see you come!

God bless Amalija and thank you for giving the world the most gracious, caring and intelligent American First Lady, whom I, a foreigner, admire so much. My condolences to President Trump and the Trump family. God be with you always.

She must have been a really great lady, to have a daughter like Melania. The protection Melania bestows on Barron, and the loyalty Melania shows to her husband President Trump, convinces me that Amalija knew what she was doing. She was class. God Bless the Knavs and Trump family. Amalija is on her wonderful journey.. Her life on earth was just the beginning.

On the day my Mum died at 67 in 2000, I said to my husband, "I have been dreading this day my entire life..." 23 years later, I will tell you...she is never farther than a breath from me. Be aware. She knows the pain you and your family are going through, and she will reach out. Be aware. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

May Amalija today see God, face to face. My prayers go out to her entire family, most especially First Lady Melenia and President Trump and their family. May Barron receive strength during this difficult time at the passing of his grandmother.
