I spent many loving years in Grandma & Grandpa's house. I will miss them both dearly, but I know they are together again watching us all as we grow. I know I will see them again. Love, Peanut

We are together once more
as husband and as wife,
our family will grieve us both
as God has taken life.

We're looking at eachother
with our smiles upon our face,
once again together
with eternal love embrace.

We have never been so happy
watching you all from up above,
sending you all our memories
of our family and our love.

But when your feeling lonely
and thinking you all just can't go on,
we'll wrap our arms around you
until all your pains are gone.

We are happy and content now
free from all our fears and pain,
our loving thoughts surround you
for your prayers were not in vain.

For now we want you all to know
we are more than just okay,
we are sending you all our love
every single day.

When life seems too hard
and your pain too tough to bare,
we are never far away
just call and we'll be there.

When God decides your time has come
to join us up here too,
please know our loving family
we'll be waiting here for you.

Your loving, BIG PEANUT

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.

My deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother. I will always remember the good times when she and Bill would visit my dad, Luther Atkinson, at our farm in WV.
