"Stairway to Heaven"
Life is a series of steps that one must travel up and down, forgetting something important with each round. The rails are meant to protect us from a slip or fall, but we cannot ignore the final call. The path chosen is not always our own. However, I'm sure heaven is a beaautiful home. There is no admission at the door, Your stairs have already been paid for. Martha, you have always tackled each step one by one, Congratulations job welll done. All stairways are not the same; some are straight or poccess a curved fame.Your passing was God's fate, the exact measure of life we can never estimate. Steps are difficult to climb, watch out one may fall at anytime. A stairway to heaven is reserved for a chosen few. My father has designed one just for you. We knew your sweet spirit and caring way,will get you into heaven someday. My friends remember to appreciate life along with each moment it entails. Always watch your step when traveling upstairs. Unlike steps, a stairway is a much smoother ride. You've finally made it to the other side. Although our eyes are filled with tears, thanks for sixty-eight wonderful years. The lessons of treating people kind will never go astray. We'll see again some sweet day.
AMEN
