To you my family members, and all of our family's friends that came out to support us during the loss of another one of our family members, I want you to know that MURPH is resting in the arms of JESUS. She's getting that reward that He promised her a long time ago. Luke 1:45 says "She that believed shall receive the Fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord. Murph promised the Lord that she would serve Him all the days of her life. Now she's a deaconess, and a Prayer Warrior in Heaven looking down on us. John 14:1 says, For in my Father's house there are many mansions, if it had not been I would have told you so. I'll go away and prepare a place for you, for where I am, there you may be also. For GOD knows the secret of our hearts, and the contents of our minds. Keep us in your PRAYERS and we will keep you in ours. Remember that GOD is the Answer no matter what the question or situation may be! Sleep on MURPH, sleep on!!!! Your "V-nessa"

For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jn3:16. I know that momma "MURPH" is in heaven glorifying and praising God forever. You all are in our prayers. Corliss & Kaleb

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.

In your Pocket
You have memories in your pocket.
They rattle among the change.
The memories of your LOVE ONE are treasures you carry wherever you go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give you comfort when you think you are alone.
Yes, you have memories in your pocket, like so much other stuff you keep there.
But of all the treasures you have, of your Mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend it is the memories that are the most precious. PRECIOUS MEMORIES HOW THEY LINGER, OH HOW THEY FLOOD MY SOUL.
MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU IS OUR PRAYER.
WITH DEEPEST SYMPATHY AND LOVE,
MR. & MRS. ERNEST TATNEY (ROSEMARY)
