My First Christmas In Heaven

I see the countless Cristmas trees around the world below,with tiny lights,like Heaven's stars,reflecting on the snow.

There sight is so spectacular,please wipe away the tears,for i am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the Christmas song,that people hold so dear,but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you,the joy their voices bring.

For it is beyond description,to hear angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,I see the pain inside your heart.But i am not so far away,We really are'nt apart. So be happy for me,Dear ones.

You know i hold you dear.

And i'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

From my heavenly home above. I sent you each a memory of my undying love,love is a gift more precious than pure gold.

I t was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and and keep each other

as my Father said to do.

For I can't count the blessing

or love He has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas

and wipe away that tear.

Remember, I am spending

Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I really enjoyed knowing Doug, and am saddened by his tragic death.



He was a great brother-in-law to me, always friendly and always funny, and he has always been a great Dad to Austin.



He will always be remembered by me and my family, for his quick-wit

and for many good, happy memories that we shared.



We love you Doug, and you too, Austin.

I met Doug over 16 years ago and it is a honor for me to say what a fantastic friend he has been to me. His greatest trait was the love he had for his son Austin. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Meldrum family.
