Dear Dottie and Family,
AJ found this newspaper entry clipping in my moms address book the day before she passed... we thought it might bring some comfort.
I didn't know that morning
that God would call my name.
In life you loved me deeply,
in death you do the same.
I left you peaceful memories
your love is still my guide.
Although you cannot see me,
I am always at your side.
I wish you all Peace,
I wish you Love,
I wish you guidance from above.
When the burden seems too heave
and too hard to bear,
give it all to God,
He will always care.
Don't harbor hate, set it free,
or it will eat at your soul
ungracefully.
As you celebrate my birthday,
do it with love, and I will be
watching from Above.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers
Michele, AJ and Ashley
