My Aunt Yogie was a beauitful person who i am going to miss very much. It is hard not haveing her eachday, but i will always have the memories as a child and a adult. My Aunt Yogie was always big on holidays like Christmas i can remember the christmas tree we had and the bird she would hide that made noise. On christmas eve the kids had a chance to find this bird that was hiden in the tree so one by one we tried looking for it the kid who found it won a prize or money.I was honored to tell my Aunt that i enjoyed that holiday she was amazed how i could still remember or on easter her big bun cake being a kid that cake was huge but come to think of it as a adult it still seems huge.As you can read her family will always cherish those memories.I want to tell my family i love them and i know i will always have her in my dreams.

I remember many good times with Yogi she will be missed. Her family and friends are in my prayers.

1Thessalonians 4:13-18

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope.(14)We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.(15)According to the Lord's own word, we who are still alive,who are left til the coming of the Lord,will certainly not precede those have fallen asleep.(16)For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God and the dead in Christ will rise first. (17)After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up toghtther with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.(18)Therfore encourage each other with these words.

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.
