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.

Pete you will be forever in my heart
I know Wolfie was waiting at heavens door when you arrived
Peter our relationship started off rocky and if there were ever two people that clashed it was us
but we had fun with the disagreements we had over the years and they lasted the whole time up till they wheeled you into surgery
but it is amazing how over a 30 year friendship things changed you Introduced me to my husband and I can never thank you enough for that you made me the person to fight for your life when you couldn't and that said alot I told the doctors to fight as long as they could and they did but infection was stronger then all the medicine in the world
I had your memorial and more people then I ever imagined showed up
we let a bunch of balloons go in your honor it was a sad day to have our good byes but just cause we said good bye doesn't mean you will be forgotten cause that will never happen I miss you more then anything
when I whispered in your ear at the hospital after you passed and told you I would do you right I hope from up in heaven you had a big smile on your face and were able to see all the love that was at our home in honor of you I love you Pete and miss you with all my heart till we meet again
