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.

Metti~ I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your son. As you and I became friends at the bank I honestly never put the connection together that Picky and Luther were your sons!! I went to school with both of them! I just want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you daily, and I will pray that God will ease the pain that no mother should have to endure. I miss seeing you each week Metti at the bank. You and Ray take care of yourselves. And when times get hard, just try to focus on the fact that the gift God gave you within your children and the happiness they brought throughout the years, far outweigh the sadness your heart is feeling right now.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Dear Copley Family,

I was sorry to learn of Glen's death. He was a former student of mine at Rittman Middle School and I will always remember his sweet smile.

I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

To the family we just want to offer our deepest condolences and sympathy. Picky was a great guy and a great friend. He will be sadly missed but not forgotten. We are here for You if you need anything.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
