There is no more pain from the sickness you've endured, only happy thoughts with family and friends I'm sure. Although you've fought a long battle after grandpa died, believe me when he saw you coming he happily cried. I could hear him calling your name "Lillian Nash" I'm waiting for you, and your reply would be,
"Nash", when I see you again I want to be anew. Now you're together at last in the afterlife, with God watching both of you shining His light. For He has called and said, "Lillian Nash, I'm coming for you" and you said, "Lord I'm Your Servant just tell me what to do!" There is no replacement to take your place, just rest now next to your husband's space. You will be missed by your family and friends as long as you know; you're re-united with your parents, siblings, and neighbors until the end. Your love from us will never die, until we all meet again in that great big sky! We love you and we miss you, Grandma. May you Rest in Peace!

It was an early Sunday morning, March 9,2008
When grandma went to heaven and to Gods pearly gates.
He said Lillian Nash I have gave life to you.
And with those 75 years, what exactly did you do.

With her usual confidence and head held oh so high.
She didn't even have to think so swiftly she replied.
I cared and provided for my family, I was a loving mother of four.
I did for them all I could but I could not do any more.
I wached and cared for my family for oh so many years.
I changed their dipers washed their clothes and wiped away a few tears.
It was hard at times but there was only so much I could do.
And as I cared for my family I made sure to care for others too.

I fought a heavy battle of sickness for oh so many years.
But I didn't want to leave so soon because it would be to many tears.
I watched my brothers and sisters go even my loving twin.
Just when I thought I was over the pain I saw the death of my husband.
Through it all I cried a lot but it was so hard for me to see.
That you were setting it up and paving the way on the road you had for me
My task was done on earth and you had nothing else for me to do.
So I closed my eyes and heard your voice and now I'm here with you.

I know how you all feel with the loss of your mother. My family and I have walked in your shoes more times than we care to admit but God is good. Yes you will cry and you might even be angry too for a while. Let the tears flow and realize that soon they will stop-- just imagine God wiping them away. He promised he would do it and I'm a witness that he does what he says he will do. Time is a great healer.

Lean on each other for strength and enjoy the rest of your lives as Mrs. Lillian would have wanted you to. Don't let anger or jealousies come between you b/c you are all you have-- each other.

The family that prays together, stays together, so keep praying and asking God to give you the wisdom to accept what you can not change. Do your best to live your lives in preparation for when you see Mrs. Lillian and Papa Nash again. I do believe they are watching over all of you. It's all about love and family-- that's why God created us.

Take care and God bless

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

The Lord saw you tired
and a cure was not to be
So he wrapped his arms around you
and said "Lillian, Come with me".

With tearful eyes we saw you suffer
and watched you fade away
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating
a beautiful smile at rest
God broke our hearts last Sunday
to prove he only takes the best.

It's lonesome here without you
we miss you here each day
our lives have not been the same
ever since you went away.

When days are sad and lonely
and everything goes wrong
we seem to hear you whisper
cheer up and carry on.

Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say
Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping,
We'll meet again someday.

MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY, GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN

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.
